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?

I didn’t say he does this to protect employees, I think he’s doing this to protect hate speech on Twitter. Someone says something discriminating or other some other right wing bullshit on Twitter? Can’t fire them because that might get really expensive.
Elon wants to protect his far right echo chamber; free speech and all that.
The biggest problems the far-right have had lately (apart from the severe emotional ones) have all had to do with deplatforming.
If you spent a few months kicking around ideas about how you could address that, you’d end up with list near identical to Musks actions with Twitter. Shame the platforms, buy the platforms, cut the moderation teams, reinstate and signal boost key figures.
So it’s completely fair to assume that’s exactly what Musk has been doing, especially when you see how selectively his “free speech absolutism” is applied.
Now that that “todo list for a raging cunt” has been ticked off, how would you push things further?
Well, the problem the far-right hit when they pushed further and went mask-off at rallies like “Unite the Right” was that being a neo-nazi ruins your life. Their friends, family, schools and workplaces dropped them like a fistful of shit – the correct response to finding out that someone in your life thinks that genocide is an appropriate solution to the problems straight, white men face.
Musk can’t pay people’s children to call them or wives to come back, but he can try and bully workplaces into keeping on an employee whose wages are spent on tiki torches and khaki shorts, so that’s what he’s doing next.
The far-right’s third favourite thing after genocide and slurs has always been brainstorming how to “red pill” vulnerable people into joining their shitty cause, all the way back to awkward Stormfront forum raids.
The only difference between them and Musk is that Musk has billions of dollars backing him.
Musk doesn’t pay bills.
Be a fascist piece of shit at work bro, I totally got you covered!

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.
“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 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.
So Trump’s “will be wild!” tweet that resulted in impeachment and 4 federal felonies could get his legal bills funded by Musk? 🤔
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.
yeah right, he doesnt pay his own bills
The king of empty promises.
Narrator: But in fact, he won’t.
Is there any evidence of an employer persecuting someone for what their post or like on twitter?
And I don’t mean right wing nutjobs getting fired for posting hateful diatribes and being surprised cause mUh FrEeZePeAcH
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.
