X ordered to pay $600,000 to former employee over Elon Musk’s “extremely hardcore” work culture demand

X, previously known as Twitter, was directed to pay $600,000 to Gary Rooney, a former employee dismissed for not complying with Elon Musk’s ‘extremely hardcore’ work demand. The Irish Workplace Relations Commission ruled the termination was unjustified as the 24-hour ultimatum in Musk’s email was not reasonable notice. Rooney’s nine-year tenure was ignored in the decision.
