US judge wants Elon Musk’s X to face class action over age bias claims in 2022 mass layoffs

A federal US judge has ruled that nearly 150 older workers who were laid off X (earlier known as Twitter) in 2022 can sue the company as a class action lawsuit for age-based discrimination. This lawsuit can expose the Elon Musk-owned social media platform to millions of dollars in potential damages. These employees alleged that they were laid off from X when the tech billionaire acquired the company last year.
