Elon Musk’s X Illegally Fired Worker Over Protest Tweet, US Labor Board Alleges

Elon Musk’s X Corp. illegally fired an employee in retaliation for her internet posts challenging its return-to-office policy, the US labor board alleged in its first-ever formal complaint against the company.

In a Friday filing, a regional director of the US National Labor Relations Board accused the company — formerly known as Twitter — of violating the federal law that prohibits punishing employees for communicating and organizing with others about their working conditions. The complaint, issued on behalf of the agency’s general counsel, said the company “has been interfering with, restraining and coercing employees in the exercise of rights granted” under US labor law.
