Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:44:27 GMT

(The Hill) -- A federal judge ruled Friday that Twitter, now known as X, breached its contract with employees when it failed to pay millions in promised bonuses last year.The company promised employees half of their potential bonuses both before and after tech billionaire Elon Musk purchased the company in 2022, but never paid, according to the suit.Mark Schobinger, then the company’s senior director of compensation, brought the lawsuit against the social media platform in June."Once Schobinger did what Twitter asked, Twitter's offer to pay him a bonus in return became a binding contract under California law,” District Judge Vince Chhabria wrote in the opinion.

Chhabria, instead, held the company to Califor...
