Since Elon Musk took over Twitter last October, more than 6,000 employees have been laid off, in a move Musk says was a cost-cutting measure. But some former employees say layoffs weren’t the only way Twitter tried to trim expenses.
Former Twitter employees have filed multiple lawsuits this month against Musk and Twitter (now X Corp.), claiming the employer owes at least $500 million for failing to provide the full severance pay and benefits employees were promised. One of these class action lawsuits is expected to be heard in a Delaware federal court, while the other will go to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
