U.S. District Judge Susan Illston determined that approximately 150 former Twitter employees over age 50 could collectively sue for age discrimination related to layoffs following Musk's acquisition.
Illston affirmed that evidence suggests Twitter may have engaged in discrimination against older employees during a significant layoff, allowing collective action for those affected to be pursued.
The judge emphasized that the ruling for class certification allows for the proposed class of plaintiffs to notify potential class members about their rights concerning the lawsuit.
While class certification is granted, the decision does not confirm a class-action trial; it only permits communication to potential class members ahead of further proceedings.
