US judge allows lawsuit that accuses Elon Musk of age bias in laying of X employees

A US federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing X (formerly Twitter) of laying off older workers when Elon Musk acquired the company. The judge dismissed a claim that X intentionally targeted older workers for layoffs. The plaintiff, John Zeman, provided evidence that the mass layoffs had a greater impact on older employees. Zeman now has a month to file an amended lawsuit. This is one of several lawsuits X is facing from former employees, including claims of targeting women and workers with disabilities.
