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.
