Billionaire and Tesla owner Elon Musk has pledged to support a Canadian physician entangled in legal and professional challenges due to her criticism of COVID-19 lockdown measures.

Musk’s response came after Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill asked him for help on X, the social media platform he now owns.

“As one of the first Canadian MDs to oppose lockdowns on Twitter in 2020… I’ve been persecuted for four years solely due to my Tweets. Please help a fellow Canadian! ~$300k in court-ordered costs due in four days,” said Gill. She included a screenshot of a post from Musk last August vowing to support those facing hardship from employers over things they do on X.

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know,” wrote Musk in the August post.

In response to Gill’s request, Musk wrote in a reply, “We will help.”
