Elon Musk, the owner of X (previously known as Twitter), has pledged to fund the legal bills of users “treated unfairly” by employers over their posts on the platform.
Musk made the announcement in a tweet posted in the early hours of Sunday.
The billionaire entrepreneur said there would be “no limit” to the financial assistance he would provide to users targeted as a result of their posts and likes.
“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,” he tweeted.
Musk’s offer of assistance has been met with mixed reactions.
Some have praised the move as a way to protect free speech on X, while others have described it as an avenue to shield users from the consequences of their actions.
