Musk Says Discriminated X Users Will Get Help With Legal Bills

Elon Musk has offered to fund legal bills of X Corp. users whose posts or likes on the platform led to discrimination by their employers.

The billionaire owner of the social media site formerly known as Twitter said there was “no limit” to the offer, Musk said in a post late Saturday.
