Twitter Inc. has asked a federal judge in California to toss out a proposed class action claiming the mandate by CEO Elon Musk that employees return to the office and put in “long hours at high intensity” discriminates against workers with disabilities.

Twitter’s lawyers late Wednesday filed a motion to dismiss the November lawsuit, saying the plaintiffs had not alleged that any of the company’s actions were targeted at people with disabilities or had a disproportionate impact on them.
