Powerhouse labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan and former Twitter employees stood in front of San Francisco's federal courthouse on Thursday with a message for Elon Musk: They won't back down.

"The richest man in the world is not above the law," said Liss-Riordan, whose team represents clients in four different class-action lawsuits against Twitter.

Since Elon Musk took control of the social media giant in October, he has followed through on his promise of a mass layoff and a complete overhaul of the company. Even as managers and staffers resigned, he issued an ultimatum: commit to a new, "hardcore" Twitter 2.0 at which employees were expected to work long hours, or leave with three months' worth of severance.

The lawsuits came instantly.

... and Musk won't be above the law, but he will still be very very rich.

And a world without Twitter is not such a terrible thing really.
