Former Twitter Employees File Lawsuit Against X Over Layoffs

A lawsuit has been filed against X, formerly known as Twitter, by former employees, alleging unfair treatment following the company’s acquisition by Elon Musk.

The lawsuit was one of several filed in the months after Musk’s $44 billion acquisition, which led to the layoffs of approximately 75% of the workforce.

The plaintiffs accuse X of violating labor laws and failing to provide adequate notice and severance packages.

“Other cases accuse Twitter of not giving employees and contractors advance notice of layoffs, failing to pay billions of dollars in promised severance, and disproportionately targeting women and older workers for job cuts,” according to court documents.

X has denied any wrongdoing, but the lawsuits highlight the challenges faced by the company as it undergoes significant restructuring.

The layoffs have had a profound impact on former employees, many of whom are now seeking justice through the legal system.

The lawsuits aimed to hold X accountable for its actions and ensure that former employees receive the compensation and notice they are entitled to.

As the cases move forward, they will likely provide insight into the inner workings of X and the decisions made by Musk and his team.

“We’re committed to protecting the rights of our former employees and ensuring that they receive the fair treatment they deserve,” said a spokesperson for the plaintiffs.

X has not commented further on the lawsuits, but its denial of wrongdoing suggests a lengthy and contentious legal battle ahead.
