Perhaps he's forgotten that free speech means you're free to say whatever you want, but you're not free from the repercussions. Especially in all the "at will" employee states.

This is so stupid.

He’ll never actually do it. He simply wants to encourage more people to say outrageous things so engagement levels increase as everyone does dumb shit.

Good luck to anyone who falls for this.

lol sure he will. He won’t even pay rent.

He's not offering it to former employees, but they should absolutely go for it very very publicly. Musk is fishing for money from Trump and Kanye, it's probably some kind of laundering scheme.

Didn't he fire one of the twitter engineers because he corrected him on a Twitter thread?

The kid can't even pay his own rent, how's he going to afford legal fees?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Elon Musk has said his X social media platform will pay the legal bills and sue on the behalf of people who have been treated “unfairly” by employers because of posting or liking something on the site formerly known as Twitter.

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill,” Musk said in a post on X late on Saturday, adding that there will be no limits to funding the bills.

“And we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too,” Musk said later in response to a post about nothing changing behavior in the US faster than a threat of legal action.

The figures came as the company is going through organizational changes and is looking to boost falling advertising revenue.

After 17 years with an iconic blue bird logo that came to symbolize the broadcasting of ideas to the world, Musk renamed Twitter as X and unveiled a new logo in July, marking a focus on building an “everything app”.

Earlier in July, the billionaire whose other companies include SpaceX and Tesla had said that the social media platform’s cashflow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load.

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

A Musk (or Trump) Never pays his debts.

Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!

Is it the same guy who barely can afford to pay the servers and owes wherever he looks?

If any right-wing nutjob is reading this: Don't count on him actually paying something for you.

I think he is sorely underestimating how many people are going to contact him about this offer. lol

Two fantasies - one, that anybody's been persecuted for posting on what was the most popular communication tool in the world, and two, that a narcissist ignoring his own bills will ever cover yours.

People don't get fired for where they post.

People get fired for what they post.

He doesn't even pay his own bills. What makes people believe he'll actually pay theirs? He may pay one person's bill at first to get a flurry of news attention, but he'll definitely leave everyone else out to rot.

he won’t even pay his rent or his own legal bills… he stiffs his own employees on severance packages. he’s lying if he promises anything.

Twitter is still underwater from losing half their advertiser revenue plus the billions in debt they still owe. He's not going to pay out unless he can find one particular case that will bring lots of attention. Elmo is an attention whore that everyone needs to ignore.

Do you want to pay the legal bills for a bunch of closet Nazis? Because that's how you wind up paying the legal bills for a bunch of closet Nazis.

LOL

Imagine Elon Musk actually fucking PAYING HIS DEBTS

YEAH PAL PULL THE OTHER ONE

Can't Musk posts just go to EnoughMuskSpam?

Okay so I have an LLC, can I hire my girlfriend and then fire her for something she posted on Twitter and then have musk come after me? That would be hilarious.

Musk offers to pay l̶e̶g̶a̶l̶ bills o̶f̶-p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶-u̶n̶f̶a̶i̶r̶l̶y̶-t̶r̶e̶a̶t̶e̶d̶-f̶o̶r̶-p̶o̶s̶t̶i̶n̶g̶-o̶n̶-p̶l̶a̶t̶f̶o̶r̶m̶

There, does that sound any more believable?

Will he be paying his own bills ? Think quite a few are overdrawn

He doesn't even pay his own bills! What makes anyone think he'll follow through on this. This guy is worse that the boy who cried wolf!

He may offer to pay the legal bills, but he won't do it.

what a clown 🤡

Oh musk. Stf

This modafucka can’t even pay his own company’s bills on time.

Musk cannot even pay for the office space that he is leasing. What makes anyone that he will pay for your legal bills? What shit crock.

Tell us you want your social media company to be a popular version of truth social without telling us you want your social media company to...
