In response, Elon Musk, who has reversed the platform’s policy of censoring accounts and content that challenges the new authoritarian left since he acquired the platform in late 2022, responded to the Libs of Tik Tok posting by offering to fund the legal bill of anyone who has been subjected to punishment by their employer for liking or posting any content on the platform. “No limit.”
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.
Please let us know.

To no surprise, Musk’s post generated a lot of responses by users claiming to qualify for the assistance he is offering. One response suggested that Elon may have grossly underestimated the number of victims and the cost of this policy.
I’m afraid that Elon may have grossly underestimated the number of victims and the cost of this policy

That’s a possibility, I guess. But I think one thing that Elon Musk has established is that you shouldn’t underestimate him and his capacity for thinking ahead.
