Elon Musk’s ‘fund your legal bill’ tweet is a brand new level of bullshit
Such hypocrisy
Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don't be shared
Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an "unlimited" legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.
Under his tweet a lot of "verified" (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
They aren't 'Tweets' anymore. They are Xcretes.
Except when they're used in court as evidence, then they're called "xzibits"
Yo dawg we heard you like evidence

Xcrements.
Man, Grimes kicking him out and replacing him with a trans woman really messed up his head. This is some pathological level of obsession.
I'd be inclined to think he got dumped because of these levels of pathologic behaviour- if this is what we see in public, I can only imagine the things that happened in private between those two.
yeah, could we maybe not frame it as "trans people hurt him so he's lashing out" type nonsense?
Not only is it false (he was like this long before that, you just had to be paying attention), but it also provides fuel to transphobes, who already make up enough, but we don't need to hand them more.It’s not that “trans people hurt him”, it’s that he got dumped for being a dickweed and then blamed it jealously on a trans person. Also, his daughter who disowned him and the fact that he explicitly had all 10 of his kids with IVF so he could choose that they be born male says a lot.
fired employees that criticized him on twitter
I hope one of those employees sues him. And asks him publicly to pay their legal fees.
I am surprised that nobody has sued the former president for those paying out when he said the same thing.
He’s fishing for fascists.
Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn't stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn't learned. Lmao.
We make our employees sign a form when they're hired stating that they will not mention our company or any of its employees on social media in a negative way. It's standard practice. Any company big enough to have its own lawyer(s), they will advise them to do that because it can help prevent serious legal Issues.

The NLRB ruled that non-disparagement clauses are not enforceable
https://www.axios.com/2023/03/27/labor-board-says-non-disparagement-clauses-are-unlawful
It's a clear violation of the first amendment... Also, referring to the company you work for as "we" while talking about firing another employee is cringe as fuck.
Yeah idk man, I would not call it "a clear violation" based on your link. This is basically the NLRB's opinion and they expect to be challenged on it.
Also I think we need to delineate those folks who are genuinely facing retaliation for discuss working conditions, and those who want Elon to help them sue because they got fired for saying the N slur on Twitter or other troll bullshit
The first amendment only protects you from being prosecuted by the government for things you say (and it's even limited... You can't yell fire in a crowded theatre for instance).
The first amendment doesn't apply here, at all.
Even if I hadn't agreed to this it would be a no brainer. If you found your friend talking shit about you they wouldn't be your friend anymore, why would an employer react any different?
I don't know what kind of friends you have, but your employer is not your friend, nor your family.
They are there to exploit your labour for profit, and will only ever defend themselves, never you.(this isn't to say I agree with musk or anything, fuck him and anything he does, and fuck the bigots, they deserve consequences to their actions, but the idea that anyone would defend their boss like they would defend a friend makes me sad and angry and massively frustrated. Those contracts Karlos mentioned are 100% ass covering by a company that is more concerned with its reputation than it is with its employees, which when you consider we live in capitalism is to be expected, but it still seems to escape so so many people - 99% of employers don't give two shits about you, including, and maybe especially, those who are really good at convincing you that they value "loyalty")
Or potential future employers
Does that extend to employer review websites like GlassDoor?
Ive defended these musk posts in the past, but sorry... This story has nothing at all to do with technology.
Be liberal with your filters. I for one, am now filtering this, I'm tired of musk showing up in my feed.
how?
Does Trump's "Will be wild!" tweet count? He got impeached and now has 4 felony counts in relation to that one... I'm sure he'd LOVE to stick someone else with the bill for it...
What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?
Musk fighting at-will employment now. How socialist of him. /s
Yeah, this has nothing to do with technology. It's a useless article anyway, because it doesn't seem to actually say what his tweet said...
Technology doesn't exist in a void, and pretending it does is how we get Wernher von Brauns.
The man who might be the poster boy for "the science, not the scientist?"
Bad example imo. Dude even shut his whore mouth and just made rockets to own the commies, he's if anything a fair argument for far right rehabilitation.
It's got one of those hot links to his tweet.
Lauded or applauded. Plauded is wordn't.
Edit: I am rightn't.
It is, in fact, a word:
Shiet
Ah ok it was a similar word translated from my language
Turns out I'm wrong. Plauded is a perfectly valid short form of applauded.
Not sure how this relate to "Technology".
Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic
Any examples of that?
But that will require for me to go on that cesspool again...
Follow the link, there's a link to musk Xcrement, under that all the Blue subscribers they're talking about a transphobe fired by Ubisoft, and then another one
