To add a bit of delicious irony, a Twitter engineer who was fired[0] after disputing one of Elon Musk's claims on Twitter has responded: https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/16880498786379898...

Elon has only promised to support unfair termination cases.

You cannot possibly claim unfair termination for publicly bad-mouthing your boss on X.

Has he been forced to start paying his own office rent yet?

IANAL...but what lawyer would take a case, based on "Elan tweeted that he'll pay my legal bills"?

Reminds me of Trump promising to pay the legal bills of anyone who punches a heckler. He didn’t. Elon also won’t. Both completely identical frauds. Except it’s tech instead of real estate.

Does it include far-right and antifa, or only a side?

Are morons/scammers going to abuse it and make annoying tweets just to get fired?

Didn't they just announce that they can't pay out their creators their 'rev share'

Have they paid their fired/laid off employees severance yet? Their rent? Their cloud bills? etc...
