In a bold move, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced on Saturday evening that he will provide unlimited legal funding for individuals who have been unfairly treated by their employers due to their activities on X, his newly renamed social media platform (previously Twitter), that challenge the prevailing narrative.
“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,” Musk wrote in a post made Saturday night.
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.

Musk further pledged that such legal battles would be carried out on a significant scale and will target not only the companies but their boards of directors as well.
“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 wrote, responding to a comment on his original post.

In the wake of Musk’s announcement, several high-profile X users and ordinary users shared their own/other people’s experiences of unfair treatment from employers as a result of their social media activity, particularly for expressing views that challenge the narrative or ‘woke’ ideologies.
Kara, is that accurate?

Seriously? I have an active RICO case against Twitter and had both of my congressional campaigns completely deplatformed by this app. My elections were stolen as a result of illegal big tech censorship. I was the first and ONLY candidate in the nation who was denied the ability…

I don’t even know how I originally found you back in 2020. I think I just stumbled across your account. You’ve been right about absolutely everything the three years I’ve followed you. My husband lost his job with the NFL over this as well. We were blacklisted from both of our…

How do we make contact @elonmusk? I was defamed by a prominent politician and have had violence incited against me based on a single tweet. It has impacted every area of my life and I have been given no right of reply.

This surprising announcement comes in the wake of recent controversy surrounding first-year NASCAR driver Noah Gragson. The 25-year-old driver was suspended by NASCAR and Legacy Motor Club (LMC) for liking a meme that mocked George Floyd.
LMC initially announced the suspension, revealing that Josh Berry would replace Gragson in the upcoming weekend’s race. NASCAR claims that Gragson violated the member conduct section of its rule book, but has not provided any specific details about the alleged infraction.
“NASCAR fully supports Legacy Motor Club’s decision to suspend Noah Gragson. Following his actions on social media, NASCAR has determined that Gragson has violated the Member Conduct section of the 2023 NASCAR Rule Book and has placed him under indefinite suspension,” NASCAR announced.
Here is the meme that got Gragson suspended by NASCAR. The image shows the live-action version of Sebastian the crab from “The Little Mermaid” with Floyd’s face photoshopped.
The caption reads: “Under Da Knee, Under Da Knee.”
Y’all suspended this dude because he liked this meme? 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/GHeobYyvfb
