Elon Musk’s X age-discrimination case allowed to proceed by judge

Published

on

A federal judge in California has declined to dismiss a lawsuit against X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, which alleges that the company disproportionately laid off older employees during Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company last year.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ruled on Tuesday that the plaintiff, John Zeman, had presented sufficient evidence to support his claim that the layoffs had a more significant impact on older workers, allowing the proposed class action to move forward.

Zeman’s lawsuit contends that X laid off 60% of employees aged 50 or above, and almost three-quarters of those aged over 60, in contrast to 54% of workers under 50.

While the judge dismissed Zeman’s assertion that X intentionally targeted older employees for layoffs, she granted him one month to revise and elaborate on that particular claim in an amended lawsuit.

Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney representing Zeman, welcomed the decision as validation of their arguments, asserting that the discrimination claims are valid and should proceed.

This lawsuit is just one of numerous legal challenges faced by X following Elon Musk’s decision to lay off around half of Twitter’s workforce in November of the previous year.

The cases against X encompass a range of claims, including allegations that the company carried out layoffs without the legally required advance notice, and contentions that Musk’s approach discriminated against employees with disabilities by insisting on in-person work and demanding increased dedication.

Several lawsuits are seeking compensation from the company, with at least two asserting that X owes former employees a combined total of $500 million in severance pay. X has denied any wrongdoing in relation to these cases.

Shannon Liss-Riordan is also representing approximately 2,000 former Twitter employees who have initiated similar legal proceedings against the company through arbitration.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
