Elon promises to pay your legal bills.

This appears to be a move to fortify free-speech on the platform. It's pretty crazy.

I know a lot of people preach that "freedom of speech doesn't protect you from the consequences", but the way that I interpret that is they don't actually value the concept--but that free speech is something only the government should respect.

That's just what I think.

As long as you're towing the line on Musk's far-right ideology anyway, otherwise X mods will ban you themselves.

so in other word he'll pay your legal fees if you say "I'm gonna kill my liberal boss" let's see how far that goes when he picks up the tab for far right extremest

Firing someone over a social media post you don't like is stupid, and should be illegal. Unless your post says something like "I'm gonna burn down my work place tomorrow if I get 5 likes" or purposely incites violence against your boss, co-workers, or customers.

Skepticism is healthy. You may even be a %100 correct about what will happen in the future.

Tangentially, do you have any evidence that you can predict trends?

Definitely suggests that "fair" is up for interpretation, but do you think that's fair?

He doesn't even pay for Twitter's hosting or the rent on its office space, and you expect me to believe he will pay your legal fees?

I know someone personally, a friend of mine that got fired over sharing his thoughts and opinion on the LGBTQ movement.He was a truck driver and during the plandemic he was transporting goods so that the supermarkets can have what to put on the shelves and one day he expressed himself on a social media post and some LGBTQ members took notice and didn't like what he had to say so they rang his company (they knew where he was working) and after they had a few words with the boss he got fired.

I don't have any legal fees. Even if he gets hosting or rent for free, I don't see how it relates.

Using "your" in the same way as the thread title, so please take it up with whoever wrote that.

And he doesn't get hosting or rent for free, he is flat out refusing to pay for them (along with severances for all the terminated Twitter staff, forgot about that one), so it's very much related.
Let's just say I have my doubts about the "unlimited funding for online randos' legal fees" claim.

This has to be fake news. We've all been told on this very forum by some of the brightest minds on GBATemp that Elon is burning through cash with Twitter. I call shenanigans because I know for a fact that our trusted sources here wouldn't lie to us.

Sorry, the title was about a tweet to Twitter audience and your post was to the readers of the thread. I see, now, that it wasn't your intention. Please do not get upset.

And he doesn't get hosting or rent for free, he is flat out refusing to pay for them (along with severances for all the terminated Twitter staff, forgot about that one), so it's very much related.

If he isn't paying rent or hosting fees, but he has a place and he has hosting, then I don't know what the concern is. Certainly if he was capable of getting things without paying for them, that would mean he has extra money to pay for legal fees.

He could be thinking that these lawsuits would translate to big winnings that enrich him. He is a business man. You are a "Former Staff". I have your word vs his. It's okay if you have doubts. I have them too.

 

[Veho]

I will believe it when I see it, that's all I'm saying.

 

[linuxares]

I don't believe this at all. Elon isn't know for charity.

 

[Localhorst86]

I wonder if he will also call you a pedo when you don't accept his help.

 

[tabzer]

Maybe. But I do want to see it play out.

Let us know!

Goes to show how right-wingers have zero concept of how much a billion dollars actually is. Dude could burn several piles of hundred dollar bills daily and still never run out in his lifetime. That doesn't make him smart or worthy of veneration unless your brain is completely smooth.

Skepticism is healthy. You may even be a %100 correct about what will happen in the future.

I'm not talking about the future, people have already been banned from "the site formerly known as Twitter" simply for posting a picture of Musk with Ghislane Maxwell. Additionally, Musk has removed multiple Democratic party ads from the platform while continuing to allow ads from the Republican party. His idea of "free speech" is just lip service.

I don't know anything about your anecdote, but you were referring to what will happen regarding the legal bills. Stop being a goldfish.

You're right. He added me a few days ago on the (X) platform (gotta love my profile picture lol):

Basically there are co-joint military operations between United States - Chile and Latin America to recover from Communism, and X has been THE free speech platform used in Chile as of now. We as Military, Police (Carabineros) and chilean citizens are being prosecuted and censored by Communist branches. So a new channel had to be opened to trace China and Russia influences over the DOJ and FBI in the United States. If you read my past posts about politics are pretty much accurate and pinpoint the illegal methods these countries have used to weaponize United States's judiciary system.
Thus there's proof political parties involved in have committed crimes at least of embezzlement and corruption through NGOs. (still in investigation).

In Chile the Judiciary, Legal and Executives (we're a Republic), have taken the "venezuelan" route, which basically hijacks a new Socialist Constitution and gives power to China and Russia over our Armed Forces. We're 99% against that, but our politicians have already decided that for us through United Nations.

So Elon Musk has retargeted X platform as an Open Source community of sorts to gather evidence and put them into evidence of crimes. The reason Mainstream Media and KGB propaganda doesn't like X platform is because it's starting to expose truth.

It's a new concept and there's a dozen of countries having just entered the platform.

So it's not "fake news".

PS: If hater's gonna hate, you are free to shove up your *** your opinions. I couldn't care less.

Stop pretending THIS promise is somehow different when he's broken every other one to date. He'll pay a certain type of person's bills, sure, because he wants to be the next Trump. All that amounts to is a thinly-veiled PR stunt.

LMAO the US is providing almost all the weapons killing Russian invaders in Ukraine right now, and the situation with Taiwan isn't exactly sunshine and roses either. Not to mention both China and Russia are state-capitalist economies. Why do all these half-baked conspiracy theories boil down to "Biden bad?" Rhetorical question, of course.

So he might, or he might not, but what we can be sure of is that he is going to do it the wrong way and for the wrong reasons.
