Tom Brady's New Team & ADL CEO on X's Free Speech 9/6/23

: Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt is pushing back on Elon Musk, calling the billionaire’s insinuation to sue the nonprofit over defamation a “threat of a frivolous lawsuit.” Musk claimed on Monday that the ADL was responsible for putting “pressure on advertisers” that led to a 60% drop in X’s advertising revenue. NFL legend Tom Brady will become a “strategic adviser” to Delta Airlines in his latest post-NFL career move. Delta CEO, Ed Bastian, Tom Brady, and CNBC’s Phil LeBeau discuss the partnership and how Brady’s able to decide what works and what doesn’t in leadership. Plus, Amazon could be hit by an FTC antitrust lawsuit later this month and celebrating the life of Jimmy Buffett.
