Twitter is facing more than 775 counts of discrimination from former staff—including but not limited to gender, disability, and family leave discrimination.
But in true Elon Musk fashion, he refuses to assume responsibility and claims no wrongdoing on his company's part.
According to right-leaning conservative Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) president Richard Hanania:
“Twitter being sued by former employees."
"They assert 605 cases of gender discrimination and 170 cases of disability and family leave discrimination."
“Elon Musk has sure been discriminating a lot in such a short period of time.”
\u201cTwitter being sued by former employees. They assert 605 cases of gender discrimination and 170 cases of disability and family leave discrimination.\n\nElon Musk has sure been discriminating a lot in such a short period of time.\n\nCivil rights law is a scam. https://t.co/fNWf7lInVc\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
Responding in kind to Hanania's mocking stance, Musk replied:
“But if you discriminate against everyone, then, tautologically, you’re not discriminating against anyone!”

This isn't the first time a Musk led organization was cited for discrimination.
A jury ordered Tesla to pay over $3 million in a racial discrimination case. 240 more Black workers are seeking class action status to bring suit against Tesla over what's described as rampant racism at Tesla.
\u201c@TeslaSynopsis @TeslaHype Lol, in case you haven't noticed... twitter 2.0 under melon musk isn't doing so great.\n\nAnd melon didn't found Tesla. He paid the actual founders, to let him claim the title. He didn't found any successful company. He's co-opted many, from the actual founders.\n\nMaybe some facts??\u201d— Tesla Synopsis (@Tesla Synopsis) 1686613235
\u201c@RosyFarrell8 @GhosteeLive @EldenCatlord @BeardedGenius Musk was born into wealth, got lucky with Peter Thiel's PayPal, then bought a bunch of companies. The founders of Tesla think he's an arsehole and the acting board thinks he's an erratic liability. His public image relies entirely on PR, and he's battling to make it worse\u201d— Nooruddean (@Nooruddean) 1686248659
On Twitter, Musk's tweets and amplifications have been cited for antisemitism, misogyny, ageism, homophobia and transphobia in addition to racism.
\u201cPretty funny how twitter went "anti-woke" and now they're worth even less than before, and that's with an army of blue checkmark keyboard warriors propping up Musk's vanity project.\u201d— Key Chung (@Key Chung) 1686594634
Users of Musk's social media platform were not amused—but also not surprised.
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania i'm sure the judge will love this explanation\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@mysteriouskat @elonmusk @RichardHanania I used to care when I see Elon or his companies get sued. Now i am just blas\u00e9 about them all \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania You\u2019re endorsing large-scale hate crimes, my man. Tautologically speaking.\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania Is this the type of person we want leading a business in modern america?\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania Tautology aside, there exist laws. Lawsuits are based on laws, not philosophy.\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania I don't think that comments gonna help you much in a hearing.\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania "Tell it to the judge", as they say.\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania That's your response smdh\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
\u201c@elonmusk @RichardHanania A large number of cases of discrimination doesn\u2019t mean \u201ceveryone\u201d \u2014 Twitter has more employees than that \u2014 but rather you have a serious systematic problem with breach of contract based on gender, race, and disability.\u201d— Richard Hanania (@Richard Hanania) 1686418331
A recent valuation of Twitter had it at one-third the value of when Musk took over the platform.
\u201c@bornposting Twitter was doomed the moment musk way overpaid for it. No way for him to make the type of money he needs to be profitable. And every user on this site worth anything to advertisers hates him.\u201d— Irishman Carl (@Irishman Carl) 1686675481
Given Musk's track record with discrimination cases, Twitter may be worth even less soon.
