A federal judge has ruled that X, formerly Twitter, must face a lawsuit after staff accused the company of failing to pay bonuses promised to them. The suit is seeking class action status for former and current X employees who did not receive their 2022 bonus. In the months leading up to Musk completing his acquisition of X, company executives repeatedly promised employees that 2022 bonuses would be paid out at 50% of the target, according to the complaint. Despite the promises, however, X did not pay out bonuses, the lawsuit says. Schobinger left the company in May following “Twitter’s reneging on various promises it had made to employees, including its failure to pay promised bonuses,” according to the complaint.
