Elon Musk Pledges to Foot Legal Bills of Users Mistreated by Employers for Posting or Liking Content

The Epoch Times Header

Elon Musk said that his social media company X will pay the legal bills of users who have been mistreated by their employers for posting or engaging with content on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

In an Aug. 5 post on X announcing the move, Mr. Musk pledged to support potential lawsuits regardless of their scale.

“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. Please let us know.” the billionaire owner of X wrote.

Mr. Musk later added that he would also put up a public relations campaign against companies that punish employees for their social media activities.

“And we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud, and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too,” he wrote in response to a comment saying that in the United States, nothing changes behavior faster than the threat of legal action.

While Mr. Musk gave further no details on how users could claim money for their legal fees, some users are quick to put their hands up to show him whom they believe deserves legal funding.

Among those identified victims of employer mistreatment is Kara Lynne, a former employee at the video game company Limited Run Games. She was fired earlier this year after transgender activists accused her of being a “transphobe” who followed purportedly “right-wing transphobic” accounts.

Calling for Ms. Lynne’s firing, the activists also dug up a post from 2016—four years before she started working at Limited Run Games, which said: “If you think the [number] of trans crying about using a bathroom is higher than the perves using the excuse, you are what is wrong with this world.”

According to Ms. Lynne, the outrage was triggered by a post in which she expressed excitement about the release of a new Harry Potter-themed video game, which some activists have threatened to boycott because of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s views on womanhood, such as that transgender people identifying as women but do not menstruate are not real women.
