In a noteworthy turn of events, tech tycoon Elon Musk has petitioned a District of Delaware judge for the dismissal of claims made against him by ex-Twitter employees. His rationale: the lack of proof suggesting he should have personal liability, over and above any liability imposed on the company.
Musk’s argument was submitted on Wednesday, through his legal representatives, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, with the aim to dismiss the two claims confronting him personally. These claims were officiated by an individual who was among the 5000+ Twitter employees terminated last November. Musk’s argument hinged on puttin forth a formal request for the court to consider the merger agreement between Twitter and the two holding firms through which Musk acquired Twitter.
Musk’s counsel advanced that the aforementioned merger agreement necessitates him solely for the financial and administrative aspects of Twitter, steering clear of responsibility for personnel choices.
