Overview

• Attorneys for X Corp and the plaintiffs reported a tentative agreement in a Wednesday court filing and sought a postponement of the upcoming appeals hearing.
• The settlement would resolve the proposed class action led by former benefits chief Courtney McMillian and operations manager Ronald Cooper.
• Financial terms were not disclosed, though the plaintiffs had alleged roughly $500 million in unpaid severance for about 6,000 laid-off workers.
• A federal judge dismissed the case in July 2024, and the appeal had been set for September 17 before the parties moved to pause proceedings.
• The lawsuit cites a 2019 severance plan promising more generous payouts than what workers say they received, and separate compensation cases remain pending in California and Delaware.
