"If
you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or
liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal
bill," Musk said in a post on X late on Saturday, adding that
there will be no limits to funding the bills.
"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 said
later in response to a post about nothing changing behavior in
the U.S. faster than a threat of legal action.
Late last month, Musk said that monthly users of X reached a
"new high" and shared a graph that showed the latest count as
over 540 million.
The figures came as the company is going through organizational
changes and is looking to boost falling advertising revenue.
It was also the latest in a series of comments from X executives
claiming strong traction in usage, after Meta Platforms launched
a competing platform called Threads on July 5.
After 17 years with an iconic blue bird logo that came to
symbolize the broadcasting of ideas to the world, billionaire
Musk renamed Twitter as X and unveiled a new logo in July,
marking a focus on building an "everything app."
Musk earlier in July had said that the platform's cash flow
remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising
revenue and a heavy debt load. An upturn in advertising revenue
that had been expected in June failed to materialize.
