Antisemitic posts have increased dramatically since Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by the nonpartisan think tank Institute for Strategic Dialogue, used machine learning tools to identify “likely” antisemitic tweets on the platform. According to the data, posts that were antisemitic surged from an average of 6,200 per week before Mr. Musk became CEO in October to an average of 12,700 per week in the months after.
The surge in antisemitic posts was buoyed by a rise in the creation of antisemitic accounts. Researchers noted that in the immediate aftermath of Mr. Musk taking control of Twitter, they found a three-fold increase in “hateful account creation.”
