Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses
Source: BBC
Elon Musk has said X, formerly known as Twitter, will pay the legal bills of anyone who is treated unfairly by their employer for their activity on his social media platform.
On Sunday, Mr Musk told users that financial assistance from his platform would have "no limits".
He asked users to "let us know" if they had experienced unfair treatment for posting or liking something.
Formerly known as Twitter, the social media platform was renamed last month.

(53,878 posts)In so many ways he reminds me of Trump, only a smarter version of the same insecure bully. Clearly no amount of money will ever make such people happy. Another pompous ass with major daddy issues.
He is not even original with that statement.......LOL AGAIN
Didn't some other deranged psychopath say the exact same thing? I'll cover your legal bills, I've got your backs???????
I guess, nearing a thousand of them, (and still counting) are sitting in jails and prisons for having believed and trusted him, carrying out his dirty work on J6th......And, if they believed him, regardless of his entire past history, they are beyond ignorant and stupid......
Same goes for his entire CABAL of associates, advisers, counselors and voters. Including every last Republican Politician across this entire country.........Boy, you talk about the absolute epitome of: "Having drunk the Kool-aid". They all are getting kicked to the curb for conspiring with him in trying to overthrow the government.....They are all so brainwashed they don't even realize their donations for legal funds are merely yet another grift with the money going into his bank account and not a penny being spent to defend all of them....

"There will also be little things that come along like free frozen yogurt stands scattered around the factory and my personal favorite: a Tesla electric pod car roller coaster (with an optional loop the loop route, of course!) that will allow fast and fun travel throughout our Fremont campus, dipping in and out of the factory and connecting all the parking lots."
Elon Musk, quoted by Caroline O'Donovan in Buzzfeed News

"Vast majority of vehicle motion is returned to the battery, as the electric motors act like a generator in reverse. Brake pads on a Tesla literally never need to be replaced for lifetime of the car."

Do you want them all to have no Dem influence? Dems need to stay on X to influence the younger population.

(22,990 posts)Most of the states have right to work laws. Something cherished by most Republicans, since an employer can fire someone for any reason that does not violate federal title 7. Last I checked, cranky ass nazi types aren't a protected class.

Musk translation: 'Dear disgruntled employees (except musk employees, of course) please post your woes and bolster the site I have ruined. I will (maybe, but probably not) pay your legal bills when your employers fire you for using your free speech here on X. I may do this because I am such a staunch supporter of employees in America, as any laid off Twitter engineer or Tesla employee will tell you. And have a complementary frozen yogurt, if you can find the mythical pop up stands I may, or may not, have place in my factory.'
