Elon Musk has announced that X will be financially supporting a polarizing and prominent user of the platform in lawsuit against the cryptocurrency startup Block, which fired her last year over politically incorrect posts on a semi-anonymous X account.
“X is funding a lawsuit filed today by Chloe Happe against her former employer, Block,” X announced in a post on Friday. “Block fired Chloe because of the political opinions she expressed on X… She did not reference Block or her own identity on either account before Block fired her.”
“But because some of the opinions she expressed in her X accounts did not conform to the prevailing political orthodoxy, Block fired her, in violation of the law. X is supporting her suit to vindicate her rights,” the statement added.
Happe is better known by her handle @bronzeageshawty—comprised of a reference to the pseudonymous right-wing author “Bronze Age Pervert” and the hip-hop slang term “shawty.”
She describes herself as a “wigger high priestess right wing trad concubine girlboss bitcoin CEO turned solana memecoin millionaire,” and she is a member of the team behind the new blockchain project $EGIRL, which debuted earlier this month.
Happe also responded with her own statement on X.
“I was FIRED last year because I was posting too hard. Out of respect for the company and a desire to not doxx myself, I kept most of the details hidden,” she wrote.
“However, I’ve decided to heed the call of my Divine Mission to stand up and fight for all the posters out there just trying to move collective consciousness through fun, edginess, and breaking taboos through posting. They/them don’t want us to have fun online, outside, inside, or anywhere.”
