Center for Countering Digital Hate monitors several major English language social media sites for hate speech. X (née Twitter) has not been singled out. This is the kind of stuff that supports the argument that nobody should have money that enables making his neuroses everybody's problem. Elon, go to therapy.
This might be a good time to mention that the organization of the researchers does take donations.

Feels like Musk constantly “threatens to sue” whoever and nothing ever comes of it. Is there ever a follow through? Do we know the rate of threats to lawsuits?
Threatening to sue is the billionaire equivalent of “I’m gonna tell my mom on you!!” Weaponizing an authority to shut down someone he doesn’t like — the actions of a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist.
