Elderly Layoffs At Elon Musk's X? Lawsuit Targets Age Discrimination Amidst Major Cuts
Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
A lawsuit accusing Elon Musk's Twitter, now rebranded as X, of age discrimination during last year's mass layoffs has not been dismissed by a California federal judge. The plaintiff, John Zeman, alleges that X disproportionately laid off older workers after Musk's acquisition. The judge dismissed the claim that X intentionally targeted older workers but allowed Zeman to amend the lawsuit. X faces multiple lawsuits related to the layoffs, including allegations of inadequate notice and adverse impact on workers with disabilities.
