Elon Musk fired top execs ‘for cause’ to avoid paying $122M golden parachutes: report

NYP:

Elon Musk has dismissed four top executives at Twitter “for cause” in order to avoid having to pay them eight-figure severance packages, according to a report.

Immediately after completing the acquisition of Twitter on Thursday, Musk fired four top executives at the site — CEO Parag Agrawal; CFO Ned Segal; Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde; and General Counsel Sean Edgett.

Musk reportedly terminated the executives “for cause” — which would void a clause in their contract that entitles them to payouts worth tens of millions of dollars in severance and unvested stock options, according to reports on Saturday by the New York Times and the Information.

The research firm Equilar told Reuters on Friday that Agrawal, Segal, and Gadde are in line to receive golden parachutes worth a total of some $122 million. more here

  1. I applaud Elon for preventing them from getting more money than they are worth. And for kicking them to the street. They are responsible for helping to hide info that probably would have changed the outcome of 2020. They should be in jail and not just fired.

  2. I hope they try to sue Musk… they’re gonna re-define the term “Blowback” when Musk turns around and sues them! With all the fraud that Tesla engineers are uncovering, there is no way that company was worth 44 Billion! Those creeps deserve to pay Musk back untold BILLIONS!
    Aaaaaannnd I’ll bet Musk wins!
    In the mean time I hope they’re sweating bullets at night thinking of all the ramifications!

    No, he fired them “for cause” due to him having a reason to let them go. The elimination of the golden parachute is a nice side benefit.
