And he's insisting that researchers at his nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate remain equally unafraid.
Earlier this week, the company formerly known as Twitter filed a lawsuit in federal court against the CCDH, after the organization in June published research that Musk didn't like.
Rather, Ahmed told staffers in a meeting after he heard about the lawsuit that they should "double down" on probing X.
Lawyers representing X alleged in this week's lawsuit that the CCDH improperly obtained access to social media analysis tool Brandwatch and also illegally scraped data from Twitter using other methods.
The CCDH said it obtained the tweets using a data-scraping tool and Twitter's search function.
