Elon Musk, the business magnate and owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, has come out swinging against companies that “unfairly” punish their employees for their social media views.

Those with opinions commonly shared by those with more conservative views have been targeted by being canceled or even fired.

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill,” Mr. Musk wrote in an Aug. 5 post. “No limit. Please let us know… and we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too.”

Cancelations Involving Social Media Activity Still Prevalent

NASCAR just suspended driver Noah Gragson for “liking” a meme tied to George Floyd, whose 2020 death at the hands of police led to nationwide protests and riots.

Public Relations executive Justine Sacco was fired and canceled in 2013 after posting what was seen as an inappropriate post involving a comment about AIDS before she boarded a flight to South Africa.

In February 2021, “cancel culture” headlines swirled when Disney’s “Mandalorian” star Gina Carano was let go from her role in the series over a social media post she shared. The post in question compared the experiences of conservatives in the United States to that of Jewish people during Nazi-era Germany.

Her dismissal by LucasFilm occurred after the actress’s post shared from another social media account sparked controversy from personalities and media outlets mainly on the left. For its part, the “Star Wars” juggernaut called Ms. Carano’s “social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities” as “abhorrent and unacceptable.”

Ms. Carano, who was dropped by United Talent Agency after the controversy, would then go on to announce a new film project and partnership with The Daily Wire founded by conservative political commentator and media host Ben Shapiro quickly responded to Mr. Musk’s post.

“I think I qualify,” she wrote, with a smiley emoji face.
