Elon Musk announced in a tweet Saturday that Twitter (X) would pay the legal bills of people who are treated unfairly by employers for engaging with content on the platform.
Cancel culture has been a hot topic on Twitter recently, with NASCAR driver Noah Gregson getting suspended for liking a meme and the president of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, Richard Hanania, coming under fire for past comments about race reported by the Huffington Post.
Musk announced to Twitter (X) users that there would be “no limit” to legal bills from people who are “unfairly treated” by employers for posting or liking content on Twitter.

“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 tweet.

“We’ll get back to you soon,” Twitter’s press email responded to a request for comment.
