With his lawsuit, Mr. Kordestani became the most senior Twitter leader to take legal action against Mr. Musk — but certainly not the first. Twitter’s former chief executive, chief financial officer, and top lawyers have also sued the company to recoup unpaid compensation, and thousands of employees have joined mass arbitration cases that accuse Mr. Musk of wrongfully terminating them and refusing to pay proper severance.

The former top executives have accused Mr. Musk of withholding severance payments that they said were automatically owed when he acquired the company.

Kordestani was Google’s 11th employee, and went on to become its chief business officer, overseeing its transformation into Alphabet, a parent company that owns the search giant, YouTube, and several other companies.

Doubt this guy is hard up for money.

Maybe he just doesn’t like Elon and has a legitimate reason to take him to court? Being an ignorant petty billionaire seems like a good reason for a malicious petty millionaire to take him to court and win. Elon isn’t hard up for money either, so this shouldn’t really do much other than show as another legal loss for the nepobaby billionaire.

It’s not about whether he really needs it. Wage theft is massive in this country and we need to fucking deal with it, regardless of whether those wages are $20 million or $20.

Part of how you do well in business is by being vigorous about dealing with it if anyone tries not to pay you money that they owe you.
