Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against X

A federal judge has dismissed a sex bias lawsuit against Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) for the second time, stating that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient evidence to suggest that their gender was a factor in the layoffs during Musk's takeover in 2022. The court noted that it was unclear whether the plaintiffs were laid off or left voluntarily and that they failed to demonstrate that similarly situated male employees were treated more favorably. The plaintiffs alleged that 58% of female engineers were laid off compared to 45% of male engineers, but the judge found the claims insufficient. In a separate case, another lawsuit claiming discrimination against disabled workers due to Musk's ban on remote work was also dismissed, with the judge stating that the plaintiff did not prove that the policy specifically impacted disabled employees. Both cases are part of numerous lawsuits filed by former employees following Musk's acquisition of the company. The court has allowed the plaintiffs in both cases time to amend their complaints with more detailed claims.
