Do they? Or does Elon have to explain in front of a judge that employees about to go on protected leave/ older workers/ less fanboy were not unfairly targeted?

My money is on settlement to prevent any judge from seeing how the firing decisions were made.

In the US, the presumption is innocence until proven guilty. The pregnant women would have to prove they were targeted with evidence, not the other way around.

Any method of firing is allowed as long as it wasn't based on protected class, even if they pulled names randomly from a hat. The person suing would need hard evidence. Firing based on lack of fanboy attitude is also perfectly legal. Age and disability are not.

Anything is possible, but my money is on nothing happening.
