    Elon Musk offers to pay legal fees of workers treated “unfairly” over tweets/posts

    Billionaire Elon Musk—the owner of X, previously known as Twitter—made a broad offer in a tweet late Saturday night, saying the platform will fund legal fees for people who “were unfairly treated” by their employers because of something they posted or liked on X.

    If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill.

    No limit.

    Please let us know.

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 6, 2023

    The tech billionaire further promised there was “no limit” on the amount the company would be willing to pay — despite plunging advertising revenue and a growing threat to X from Meta’s newly unveiled Twitter-like platform, Threads.

    The offer was lauded on the platform, receiving over 120,000 retweets and over 700,000 likes as of Sunday afternoon. But Musk, who has long used his account to provoke, joke, and troll, has yet to provide details on how users can request assistance or what exactly will be considered unfair treatment.

    A few hours later, Musk wrote on X that a proposed fight between him and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in the works and the proceeds will go to veterans — though specifics about the event or which charity would benefit have yet to be detailed. The two social media moguls began bluffing about a match over the summer after Musk received word that Zuckerberg would launch Threads.

    Whether or not Musk’s fulfills his pledge to cover legal costs, it speaks to his long-held concerns over free speech and censorship. Meanwhile, during his leadership, the platform’s owner has temporarily suspended several journalists who covered the company and banned an account that tracked the movements of his private jet using publicly available information.
