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.
