X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, is facing 2,200 arbitration cases that ex-employees filed after Elon Musk took over the company, slashed headcount, and made other sweeping changes there. The filing fees alone for that volume of cases could amount to $3.5 million.

The arbitration numbers were revealed in a new filing out Monday as part of a lawsuit in a Delaware district court. The case is Chris Woodfield v. Twitter, X Corp. and Elon Musk (No. 1:23-cv-780-CFC).

As CNBC has previously reported, many large corporations require workers to sign an arbitration agreement upon employment wherever it is legal to do so. This means to speak freely in court, where their speech can become part of a public record, workers would first need to get an exemption from a judge.

    Might as well just call it Twitter. The only people that go along with calling it “X” are chuds and Musk sycophants.

        99% sure there’s to much code with logic checking for the Twitter domain (including in external dependencies!) that they don’t know how to mirror the site correctly on x.com

          Also wouldn’t be surprised to find out X is a problematic name to use when programming a social media website.

          Elon could make things even worse by hastening that transition. If the x-twitter app is down for a few weeks and all external connections break for a few month, it’s going to be just fine. I’m pretty sure that it would only improve the quality of life of all twitter users.

      It is Twitter, and I’ll be Twitter until it’s shutdown. Only morons who are into crypto ponzi schemes call it X unironically, expecting Elon to be their friend somehow
