Legacy media rarely mentions this. August 2023. Elon Musk posted on X: "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." Then X actually paid the lawyers. Gina Carano was fired by Disney over her posts. X funded her lawsuit. University of Illinois student Juan David Campolargo faced discipline over a post on X. X paid his legal team, and the school dropped the case. Chloe Happe was fired by Block over opinions she posted on X. X funded her lawsuit too. Miguel Sanchez in Providence got the same backing. His lawyer confirmed X paid for his defense. Elon Musk made a promise to people punished for speaking, and he backed it with real money.
