Liss-Riordan was also the lawyer who handled Tesla’s case in June over layoffs that reduced 10% of the automaker’s staff. Similarly, to this lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that Tesla violated the WARN Act at the time. Elon Musk, who took over Twitter a week ago, described the case as “trivial” in an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. The court also backed with the firm, ruling that workers should instead engage with Tesla in a closed-door arbitration.
