Whatever happened to the WARN lawsuits against Musk? How is he allowed to layoff 40-50% of staff with zero notice?

because severance covers the WARN period
He's paying 3 months severance.
So when he's bragging that severance is larger than it had to be, it's basically a lie?
If it's 3 months severance, doesn't seem like he's lying.

> WARN protects employees, their families, and communities by requiring employers to give a 60-day notice

Yes
Lawsuits take more than 1 week. They are coming, in time. Unfortunately, their only penalty is monetary. So the answer to your latter question is "he can pay the fine."
Do they apply since they are still being paid?
