      It’s possible. He literally burnt an extra 150 million dollars by bumping his offer for twitter to 54.20 just to make it a stupid 420 meme. It’s not like he doesn’t have the money to pay those bills.

    Is it the same guy who barely can afford to pay the servers and owes wherever he looks?

    If any right-wing nutjob is reading this: Don’t count on him actually paying something for you.

    He doesn’t even pay his own bills. What makes people believe he’ll actually pay theirs? He may pay one person’s bill at first to get a flurry of news attention, but he’ll definitely leave everyone else out to rot.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Elon Musk has said his X social media platform will pay the legal bills and sue on the behalf of people who have been treated “unfairly” by employers because of posting or liking something on the site formerly known as Twitter.

    “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 US faster than a threat of legal action.

    The figures came as the company is going through organizational changes and is looking to boost falling advertising revenue.

    After 17 years with an iconic blue bird logo that came to symbolize the broadcasting of ideas to the world, Musk renamed Twitter as X and unveiled a new logo in July, marking a focus on building an “everything app”.

    Earlier in July, the billionaire whose other companies include SpaceX and Tesla had said that the social media platform’s cashflow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load.

    He’s not offering it to former employees, but they should absolutely go for it very very publicly. Musk is fishing for money from Trump and Kanye, it’s probably some kind of laundering scheme.

      Trump is very obviously not coming back to Twitter, doesn’t have an employer, and he’s offering to pay for the service, not charge for it, so I’m not sure how that theory pans out.

    he won’t even pay his rent or his own legal bills… he stiffs his own employees on severance packages. he’s lying if he promises anything.

    Everybody is (rightly) saying this is a bullshit PR move and that he’ll never pay.

    Then why are you up voting this?

    If we all know it’s meaningless bs and non-news, downvote it. Stop giving it attention. Stop giving it the eyeballs and newscycles that he wants.

    Any content aggregator would be better if people actually voted down meaningless drivel thats clearly PR internet bait
