No because it violates the WARN act. [1]
IANAL but if they paid 60 days severance as Musk promised, that might legally be considered 60 days of employment and would not violate WARN. But they didn't actually do that despite Musk's assertions.

- ojbyrne 4y agoI find it interesting that the penalty for violating the WARN act basically seems to be paying the amount you would have had to pay if you followed the WARN act, and nothing additional. Seems like an incentive to ignore it.
- outside1234 4y agoThe WARN act is to give employees time to find another job. Basically Elon has chosen to not get any labor in return for that 60 day notice
- ojbyrne 4y agoThe OP is suggesting that there was no actual pay for that notice period.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoSuggesting, but not making any actual claims if they have been paid through their 60 days or not. Seems like very relevant information
- throwntoday 4y ago> But they didn't actually do that despite Musk's assertions. I have a friend that worked at twitter and was laid off during the first wave. She received her full severance so I don't know where you're getting this.
- cjensen 4y agoRegarding where I'm "getting this," it's in the original tweet that this thread links to :-)
