New Delhi: Elon Musk has said that his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, would fund the legal bills of users and sue on behalf of people who were "unfairly treated" at their job because of posting or liking something on the site. 

In a post on X on Saturday, Musk said, "If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill."

He stated that there will be no limits to funding the bills.

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.

He also added that X will "go after the board of directors" in its pursuit.

"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, reported Reuters,

Earlier in the day, Musk also announced that his fight with Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be live-streamed on the microblogging platform. The two tech titans had last month accepted a challenge to face each other in a cage fight.

In a tweet, Musk said, "Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X." He added that all proceeds from the fight will go to charity for veterans.

Late last month, Musk said that monthly users of X reached a "new high" and shared a graph that showed the latest count as over 540 million.

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

Earlier in July, Musk had said that the platform's cash flow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load. An upturn in advertising revenue that had been expected in June failed to materialize, according to Reuters.

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