Odaily Planet Daily News: According to a memo obtained by Bloomberg, Elon Musk lost a legal battle over unpaid severance pay to a former Twitter employee who was fired when Musk took over the social media platform in 2022. Two years ago, Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and quickly fired more than half of its employees. The move triggered complaints from more than 2,000 former employees who claimed that they did not receive adequate severance pay. Last Friday's lawsuit victory may set a precedent for thousands of former employees who have filed similar arbitration complaints. "The arbitrator awarded full severance pay to our client," attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan said in a memo on Monday. "We are excited about this development and hope it heralds more good news to come." Liss-Riordan declined to comment or disclose the arbitrator's written ruling. Previously, her client had a closed-door lawsuit with a private judge. (Fortune)
