Former Twitter employees have leveled serious allegations against Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform.
A former employee has requested a US federal judge to compel Musk to undergo a seven-hour deposition regarding his involvement in a mass layoff following his takeover of Twitter in 2022. Allegations include violations of Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, with nearly 2,000 arbitration actions filed.
Musk's direct involvement in setting policies and strategies to reduce workforce size has been highlighted. Executives have struggled to provide clarity on pre-acquisition layoff plans, leaving Musk squarely under scrutiny for his role in the layoffs.
