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.
He doesn’t pay his own legal bills though… He has reneged on paying for arbitration he forced hundreds of prior employees into after he didn’t pay them the severance he agreed to. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/twitter-stalling-hundreds-ex-workers-legal-cases-lawsuit-2023-07-03/
In short, he didn’t pay his employees, he didn’t pay his fees when they came to collect, and he won’t pay anyone’s legal bill either.
Hmm, sounds familiar. Isn’t there another guy who never pays anyone who works for him? Can’t quite remember his name, it’s on the tip of my tongue.
Press X to doubt
Lol sure, just like Trump pays the legal bills of his arrested Magats
Those couple of ex-twitter employees that got fired for tweeting how much musk sucked should apply for this, get denied, and then sue X for their legal fees.
That would be great
What legal fees?
Being fired for extravocational speech isn’t illegal, except for certain protected labor organizing activities.
I’m starting to think Elon has no clue what free speech means.
I believe he believes it’s ‘the right to force people to listen to what you have to say, regardless of their will or desire to do so’.
They didn’t have that down in the mines of South Africa :/
So say I’m an employee of Twitter. If I say that I value free speech, government regulation and trans people, then I’m mistreated by Musk, will he pay my legal fees against himself?
Doubt.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) had done research that showed hate and disinformation was “spreading like wildfire on the platform under Musk’s ownership”.
Musk hasn’t paid his own legal bills, his ex employees for their severance, or the rent for Twitter offices on multiple continents, his word is as good as Donald Trumps.
I don’t know anything about commercial real estate, but of all his egregious behavior, I’m amazed that he has gotten away with not paying Twitter’s rent for months. Why haven’t the property owners just locked him out?
I call bullshit.
He’s just fishing for fascists. Openly mind you.
LOL the sad thing is people will believe this
Would be great if Tesla employees took to Twitter to unionize.
