A $500 million severance case brought by former Twitter employees has been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson. The lawsuit, initiated on behalf of approximately 6,000 workers, accused Elon Musk of violating the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by not adhering to federal benefit plan regulations. Judge Thompson ruled that ERISA was not applicable to the severance program in question but allowed the plaintiffs the option to refile the complaint on a different legal premise.
