Elon Musk announced on Saturday that his social media business X would offer members who experience backlash from their bosses due to posts on the network financial legal assistance.
Users have occasionally found themselves in trouble with their employers over controversial things they posted, liked, or retweeted on the network, which was once known as Twitter, including a lot of celebrities and other people in the spotlight.
“No limit. Please let us know.”
Musk gave no details on how users could claim their money.
Since the tycoon bought the social media platform for $44 billion last October, its advertising business has collapsed, in part because of its looser approach to blocking hate speech, and the return of previously banned far-right accounts.
Musk has repeatedly cited a desire for free speech as motivating his changes and lashed out at what he sees as the threat posed to free expression by changing cultural sensitivities.
According to the nonprofit organisation the Center for Countering Digital Hate, hate speech has flourished at the platform.
X has disputed the findings and is suing the CCDH.
In December, Musk reinstated former US president Donald Trump’s Twitter account, although Trump has yet to return to the platform.
The ex-president was banned from Twitter in early 2021 for his role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by a group of his supporters seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
X recently reinstated rapper and designer Kanye West around eight months after his account was suspended, according to media reports.
Last fall, West, who now goes professionally by Ye, posted an image that appeared to show a swastika interlaced with a Star of David, and Musk suspended the artist from the platform.
