• Plaintiffs say a 2019 severance plan promised two months of base pay plus a week per year of service, with up to six months for some senior staff.
• After Elon Musk’s 2022 takeover and rebrand to X, roughly 6,000 employees were laid off, and many received at most one month of pay or none, according to the suit.
