Last week, a judge in Delaware ruled that Musk may include Zatko's testimony in his case against Twitter.

According to Twitter, Zatko was fired for "ineffective leadership and poor performance," and that his allegations are designed to harm his former employer.

Bernie Sanders criticizes Elon Musk’s defense of H-1B visas, said it harm US workers & billionaires

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights. #BernieSanders #ElonMusk #H1BVisas #ImmigrationPolicy #AmericanJobs #TechIndustry #ForeignWorkers #LaborRights #USImmigration #BillionaireExploitation #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Bernie Sanders to Run for Fourth Senate Term Amid US Democratic Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bernie-sanders-82-seeks-fourth-senate-term-011-3818219.html?ref=DMDesc Operation Rakth Chandan: DRI seizes Red Sanders worth Rs 11.70 crore :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-rakth-chandan-dri-seizes-red-sanders-worth-rs-11-70-crore-3414939.html?ref=DMDesc Bernie Sanders drops out of 2020 Democratic presidential campaign :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bernie-sanders-drops-out-of-2020-democratic-presidential-campaign-3068152.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.362~ED.102~GR.125~

House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Biden’s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions. #GovernmentShutdown #StopgapFunding #HouseVote #DisasterRelief #FarmAid #DebtLimit #SenateApproval #PresidentBiden #RepublicanLeadership #TrumpOpposition #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Government Shutdown: What It Means for Federal Employees and Social Security Payments :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-shutdown-impacts-on-federal-employees-011-4021087.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's New Demands Result in Collapse of Bipartisan Government Funding Plan Ahead of Deadline :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-funding-plan-collapses-trump-demands-011-4020029.html?ref=DMDesc US Congress Approves Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Until December :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-congress-passes-temporary-funding-bill-avoid-shutdown-011-3945067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.362~GR.125~
