Billionaire’s willingness to pay legal bills for people who want to sue Disney is latest foray against the company and CEO Bob Iger
Elon Musk is intensifying his feud with Disney
Musk, the billionaire owner of X, is soliciting people who want to sue Disney for discrimination. He says he is willing to help pay for their cases.
“If you were discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries (ABC, ESPN, Marvel, etc), just reply to this post to receive legal support,” Musk said Tuesday in a post on X.
The outreach came the same day actress Gina Carano sued Disney and Lucasfilm, with Musk’s financial backing, for wrongful termination from “The Mandalorian,” a television series inspired by the Star Wars franchise.
The lawsuit and solicitation of additional complaints are the latest escalations in Musk’s beef with Disney and its CEO Bob Iger, a feud that kicked off several months ago and has shown little sign of letting up. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Musk published several tweets that were critical of Disney.
