Elon Musk’s Twitter account has been accused of over 775 counts of discrimination by former staff members, but the billionaire seems to be taking the issue lightly.
Since taking over Twitter in October of last year, Musk has been involved in several controversial decisions, including firing many staff members and removing legacy blue ticks that helped users identify verified and trustworthy voices.
The Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) president Richard Hanania has reported that the platform is now facing hundreds of counts of gender, disability, and family leave discrimination.
In response to Hanania’s tweet about the discrimination cases, Musk argued that if you discriminate against everyone, then you’re not discriminating against anyone.
However, Hanania explained that treating everyone the same and having a disparate impact on a protected class is still considered discrimination under the law.
Despite stepping down as CEO, Musk couldn’t resist commenting on the legal matter, but some have criticized his response and the potential legal headaches it may cause for Twitter’s legal team.
