Overview

• Elon Musk wrote on X that “The ADL hates Christians” and labeled the Anti-Defamation League a hate group on Sunday.
• ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt rejected the accusation, saying the organization works with Christians and that its entry addresses the racist, antisemitic 'Christian Identity' ideology.
• Fact-checks from Reuters and DW, along with responses from Musk’s Grok chatbot, said there is no evidence the ADL hates Christians and that the listing refers to the extremist movement.
• Musk also pressed the ADL to change its classification of Turning Point USA; the ADL’s rationale cites the group’s Professor Watchlist and related conduct, and no change has been reported.
• Republican figures Anna Paulina Luna and Matt Gaetz criticized the ADL’s stance, while Musk amplified posts defending Christian Identity, reflecting ongoing fights over X’s moderation and extremism designations.
