I assume he means people who are fired for contributing to the increased hate speech on Twitter and not people who are fired for criticizing his shitty cars
This is the company that failed to pay rent for its offices and hasn’t paid dues to former employees?
“I know Twitter can’t even cover it’s operating costs but trust me bro” ~ Elmonk
He wanted a headline, and he got it.
I honestly rolled my eyes the second I saw this. Dude is getting tiresome.
Beyond sick of this clown
Dude won’t even pay rent or severance, and he expects us to believe he’ll pay the legal fees for other folks? Ok sure bro 🙄
That would be cool to hear, if it didn’t came from the same person that fired an employee over some tweets.
Can’t we add a rule to not allow news which only are created by “Musk said …”?
Ohh…so he’s going to pay for his eX employees to sue him…
Everyone get a job at Amazon and start posting slurs on twitter so we can take them both down at once
How much do you wanna bet that he won’t, save for a select couple of cases that they’ll publicise the ever living shit out of before quietly never speaking of it again
If they do 1-2 publicly, then everyone will expect it. It will just generate more press. I bet they defend none and fold.
How could you even trust this guys word, he’s broken his promises and straight up lied so often it’s actually astonishing
Reminds me of another far right mouth piece.
“Unfairly” is the key word here.
Just another lie from a fascist symp.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
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”.
Mr Musk is a self-described “free speech absolutist” and has been vocal in his criticisms of the platform’s policies on moderating content prior to his takeover.
When he announced that he was taking over Twitter in April last year, Mr Musk said “free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated”.
More recently, the firm that owns Twitter announced that it was suing an anti-hate organisation whose research criticised the platform.
X Corp accused CCDH of “unlawful acts” to “improperly gain access” to its data.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Yes, let’s see all those fired Twitter employees get their legal bills covered for daring to criticize him in their tweets.
Elon Musk sues Elon Musk after Elon Musk’s employee was fired for criticising Elon Musk.
World news, everybody.
Why is this dude just roleplaying made up shit considered news
