X, formerly Twitter, faces 2,200 arbitration cases and filing fees over $3 million
nbcnews.com

X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, is facing 2,200 arbitration cases that ex-employees filed after Elon Musk took over the company, slashed headcount, and made other sweeping changes there. The filing fees alone for that volume of cases could amount to $3.5 million.

The arbitration numbers were revealed in a new filing out Monday as part of a lawsuit in a Delaware district court. The case is Chris Woodfield v. Twitter, X Corp. and Elon Musk (No. 1:23-cv-780-CFC).

As CNBC has previously reported, many large corporations require workers to sign an arbitration agreement upon employment wherever it is legal to do so. This means to speak freely in court, where their speech can become part of a public record, workers would first need to get an exemption from a judge.

Musk is killing it!

("it" being whatever shred of reputation he had left before the last year or so)

X marks the spot where he killed twitter.

Oh he's been burning that reputation for a good while. I feel like when he tried to send a useless sub and called some guy a pedo was probably the largest turning point for many. Since that point he's been less and less heralded as he was before hand.

I think that's when I predicted he'd either be a Lex Luthor or a Tony Stark.

Turns out I was wrong on both accounts though. He's just a shit for brains, emerald spooned jerk.
