A federal judge ruled on Friday that Twitter broke its contract with its employees by failing to give them the millions of dollars in incentives that the social media company, now known as X Corp., had promised.

At the time of his departure from Elon Musk’s firm in May, Mark Schobinger served as Twitter’s senior director of pay. In June, he filed a lawsuit against Twitter, alleging that the company had breached the contract.

It was said in Schobinger’s lawsuit that Twitter promised staff fifty percent of their target incentives for 2022, both before and after the billionaire Musk purchased the company last year. However, the company never provided such payments.

The United States District Judge Vince Chhabria decided that Schobinger reasonably asserted a breach of contract claim under California law and that a bonus plan covered him. This decision was made in response to Twitter’s petition to dismiss the action filed by Twitter.

As soon as Schobinger complied with Twitter’s request, the company’s offer to give him a bonus in exchange for his services became legally obligatory by the laws of California. And by allegedly not paying Schobinger the incentive promised to him, Twitter is said to have broken that contract,” the judge wrote.

A media relations office no longer exists at X. A request for comment sent to the firm’s X account outside of regular business hours was not immediately responded to by the corporation.

According to Courthouse News, which was the first to disclose the verdict, Twitter’s legal team claimed that the business had just made an oral commitment that did not constitute a contract and that the laws of Texas should govern the lawsuit. The judge concluded that the matter is under the jurisdiction of California law and that “Twitter’s contrary arguments all fail.”

X has been the target of lawsuits from former employees and company executives since Musk bought the business and laid off more than half its employees.

A variety of allegations are made in the complaints, including the assertion that X engaged in discriminatory practices against older workers, women, and people with disabilities and that it failed to provide early warning of mass layoffs. The corporation asserts that it has not committed any wrongdoing.
