fortune.com Elon Musk vows to fund legal bill of X users who face employer discrimination due to ‘posting or liking something on this platform’

The proposal comes with “no limit” on costs and X Corp. will "go after the boards of directors of the companies too," he stated.

They love their persecution complex, don't they?

Never trust Musk to actually pay for anything.

- Yeah, came here to post this. Unless it’s made legally binding these statements mean fuck all.

  And if it is, he'll find some way to screw it up. Like the Twitter acquisition.

This will literally never happen.

- Isn't that kind of the point? Put pressure on employers so this doesn't happen?

Musk doesn't pay bills.

Be a fascist piece of shit at work bro, I totally got you covered!

22
Musk hasn't paid his own legal bills, his ex employees for their severance, or the rent for Twitter offices on multiple continents, his word is as good as Donald Trumps.

20
Like the people he fired for criticizing him in tweets?

He qualified it by specifying it's if you were "unfairly" facing repercussions, which of course means he can deny or accept anyone he wants for any reason that he wants and still claim he's upholding his pledge.

16
- "unfair" doesn't mean shit in court. Either you were fired for a protected reason or you weren't. Being a Nazi is not a protected class.

  Of course, it's just his "get out of jail free" card to save face publicly when he starts rejecting requests.

Bro can't even post rent on twitter buildings

So Trump's "will be wild!" tweet that resulted in impeachment and 4 federal felonies could get his legal bills funded by Musk? 🤔

13
- Technically that happened on Twitter and not on x

  This is exactly what Musk’s lawyers will claim when Trump tries to get Musk to pay.

So if you post company secrets on X, when you get sued X will pay your lawyer fees?

I think that will happen the day after X starts paying rent.

- aka never

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Elon Musk has offered to fund the legal bills of any users of his social network, X, who’ve been discriminated against by their employer because of their actions on the platform.

The proposal comes with “no limit” on costs and X Corp. will “go after the boards of directors of the companies too,” he said in messages posted to the site Saturday night.

The billionaire, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October and recently rebranded it as X, has made a habit of announcing major policy changes for the service late at night or over weekends.

Amid firing thousands after his purchase of Twitter, the billionaire publicly mocked senior director Halli Thorleifsson after the worker tried to gain clarity on his employment status at the company.

Former employees of Musk’s other companies, SpaceX and Tesla Inc., have also complained that they were fired in retaliation for critical comments about him in his role as chief executive officer of both firms.

The self-styled “free speech absolutist” hired NBCUniversal ad executive Linda Yaccarino as CEO in May to help repair partnerships in the media industry and lure back advertisers.

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

He's not going to. He's so full of shit his eyes are brown.
