Elon Musk has pledged that X, formerly known as Twitter, will cover the legal expenses of individuals facing unfair treatment from their employers due to their online activities on his social media platform.
During a communication on Sunday, Musk assured users that his platform's financial assistance for legal matters would be offered without any constraints. He encouraged users to report cases of unjust treatment stemming from their posts or interactions on the platform.
X, a renowned social media giant, underwent a name change just last month, signifying a shift in its branding and mission.
Musk, who identifies as a staunch advocate of "free speech," has consistently voiced his concerns over the content moderation policies of the platform prior to his involvement.
In April of the previous year, when Musk revealed his acquisition of Twitter, he highlighted the significance of "free speech" as the foundation of a healthy democracy. He positioned Twitter as the modern-day public forum where vital global discussions transpire.
Recent events have witnessed X Corporation, the parent company of Twitter, initiating legal action against an anti-hate organization known as the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). The organization's research implicated the platform in the rapid dissemination of hate speech and misinformation under Musk's leadership.
X Corp accused CCDH of employing "unlawful means" to gain unauthorized access to the platform's data, prompting a legal confrontation between the two entities.
