X Funds Legal Defense for Canadian Doctor Over COVID Tweets

Elon Musk's social media platform X commits to covering legal expenses for Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill, criticized for her COVID-19 vaccine stance.

X, formerly Twitter, supports Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill against 'government-supported efforts to cancel her speech' over COVID-19 tweets.
Elon Musk pledges to pay the $300,000 legal bill for Gill, who faced financial hardship from legal battles over her public health opinions.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario previously cautioned Gill for her tweets suggesting COVID-19 vaccination was unnecessary.
Experts raise concerns over X's promotion of misinformation, including on the Israel-Hamas war, after Musk's takeover and platform changes.
Gill's case sparks debate on free speech and the potential social harm of controversial medical opinions during a crisis.
