Adorno tried to defeat Heidegger’s ontology by immanent critique from within.
Evidence

He hoped to provide a justification for a conclusive concrete philosophy through an immanent critique of the spurious concreteness of the ontology that was dominant in Germany. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 627
