Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don’t be shared

Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an “unlimited” legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.

Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

    We make our employees sign a form when they’re hired stating that they will not mention our company or any of its employees on social media in a negative way. It’s standard practice

    The NLRB ruled that non-disparagement clauses are not enforceable

    It’s a clear violation of the first amendment… Also, referring to the company you work for as “we” while talking about firing another employee is cringe as fuck.

      Yeah idk man, I would not call it “a clear violation” based on your link. This is basically the NLRB’s opinion and they expect to be challenged on it.

      Also I think we need to delineate those folks who are genuinely facing retaliation for discuss working conditions, and those who want Elon to help them sue because they got fired for saying the N slur on Twitter or other troll bullshit
