“Elon is putting his money where his mouth is, and I can applaud that.”

The guy is known making rash decisions that later have to be scaled back when reality hits. I suspect that effectively indemnifying all twitter users from problems with their employers due to twitter use will have a fair amount of unintended consequences that will lead to Mush’s promise being scaled back. Years ago when Musk was at Paypal he came up with the bright idea of giving a Visa credit card to every Paypal user who wanted one with no credit check. Musk figured the losses associated with handing a credit card to a few deadbeats would be minimal compared to the costs hiring a credit-check agency to screen everyone. That turned out to be a miscalculation on Musk’s part. The losses were huge, and Musk had to backpedal and start running credit checks like everyone else.

He sounds impulsive. This, 8 kids from 6 mothers. Twitter purchase. Etc. Brilliant but trigger-happy.

Maybe, but he also might be counting on winning and suing the winnings to further the legal bills.
