Twitter Already Getting Sued as Elon Musk's Mass Layoffs Start
“That company attempted to obtain releases from laid off employees without informing them of their rights under the federal or California WARN Acts. A federal court subsequently ordered the company to provide employees notice of the claims that had been filed on their behalf,” the lawsuitThe lawyers behind the new suit are attempting to get it recognized by the court as a class action, and it’s hard to see why that wouldn’t happen.
All eyes are on former President Donald Trump, of course, as he’s the most high-profile person to have been banned from Twitter following his attempted coup in 2021. But other neo-fascists, racists, and assorted assholes are standing in line waiting to get back on Twitter, including conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, anti-Muslim bigot Laura Loomer, former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke, and former Trump advisor Roger Stone.
Musk isn’t just brainstorming new features and cutting staff to squeeze more money out of the company. Twitter has initiated something called the “Deep Cuts Plan” which seeks to find $1 billion in savings from switching cloud providers and servers, according to a new report from.
What’s next for Musk and Twitter? Your guess is as good as ours. Musk definitely seems to be making it up as he goes along rather than executing some grand well-thought out plan—as becomes apparent every time he floats an idea on the site becomes defensive when people criticize it. Musk was even haggling with horror author Stephen King over the proposed new payment scheme for Twitter verification.
“We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?” Musk replied.And that exchange pretty much says it all. King wasn’t objecting the specific dollar amount. He was objecting to the idea of paying for verification in the first place, a silly idea, especially if you’re not actually verifying any user’s identity. But Musk doesn’t get that and he really doesn’t get Twitter and what makes people want to spend their time on the site.
