Elon Musk’s pledge to pay the legal costs of people who suffer repercussions for speaking their minds on his X social media platform is drawing him deeper into Canada’s battle over free speech.
His platform is providing financial support for a legal appeal by a Brampton, Ont., pediatrician who was professionally rebuked for criticizing Canada’s COVID-era lockdowns. Mr. Musk is also funding a free-speech lawsuit filed by another Ontario-based doctor who had spoken out against COVID-19 health policies.
