Comment on Musk offers to pay legal bills of people ‘unfairly treated’ for posting on platform

He’ll never actually do it. He simply wants to encourage more people to say outrageous things so engagement levels increase as everyone does dumb shit.
Good luck to anyone who falls for this.

He’s eating his children! I knew this day would come I just didn’t expect it to be so obvious! He needs engagement so he is going to incite people to say crazy things and then they are going to get in trouble and never be able to get a hold of him. He’s just literally fucking with the US government right now. I don’t know why but I think Musk is flexing his political strength in a way that he doesn’t realize will destroy him.
