Another lawsuit has been filed against Twitter Inc. as a result of the recent purging of half of its workforce. This particular case alleges that the social media corporation targeted female employees for layoffs at a disproportionately higher rate than male employees.

Twitter's Mass Exodus

Elon Musk implemented a cost-cutting strategy at Twitter at the beginning of November, which resulted in the termination of approximately 3,700 employees. Subsequently, hundreds of other staff left their positions.

The proposed class action lawsuit was submitted to a federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday evening. It stated that when Twitter was taken over by Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, the company lay off 57% of its female employees in comparison to only 47% of its male employees.
