So you're saying that a law firm has decided to risk it by filing this lawsuit on behalf of a few no-name Twitter employees?

You can't ascribe 5-d chess skills to Musk on this one, he's lost the benefit of the doubt.

No I am saying the lawyers are suing for something that has already occurred. Specifically not giving the proper advance notice as required by law.
This is proper advance notice as long as he pays for 60+ days of employment. There is no law that requires employers to let you do whatever you want with access to company resources for 60 days.
There is a requirement to negotiate a layoff in Europe, which is why the European redundancies weren't laid off yet.
I’m not a lawyer. I’m literally just parroting the very first line of the article:

“Twitter is being sued for not giving employees advance notice of a mass layoff that began in earnest early Friday.”

I don’t think Elon is playing 5d chess. I think he’s being an enormous asshole about what is likely a justifiable thing to do at Twitter if you’re someone with purely capitalistic intentions.

I’m also saying that he’s not being sued for something he might do later as the poster I replied to suggested, he’s being sued for something he’s already done.
