The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco claims that in the month’s leading up to billionaire Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company, executives including former finance chief Ned Segal “repeatedly” promised employees that 50% of their 2022 bonuses would be paid.

DENVER (AP) — Childhood sexual abuse victims in Colorado will no longer be able to file lawsuits over abuse that happened decades ago, as the state Supreme Court struck down a law Tuesday that gave victims a three-year window to sue over abuses as far back as the 1960s. The court cited the state Constitution's ban on legislation that retroactively applies to conduct prior to its passage.Colorado's Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Act, passed in 2021, was partly intended to allow child victims to bypass the statute of limitations and seek reparations and accountability for their assailant and/or organizations that might have failed to catch and stop any abuse. The bill's sponsors argued that, particularly for children, such abuse often goes unreported at the time it happens.The law was part of a national effort following the #MeToo movement to roll back time limitations on victims' ability to seek justice.“We certainly understand the General Assembly’s desire to right the wrongs of ...
