Former senior executives of Twitter, including Parag Agrawal and Ned Segal, are suing Elon Musk and X Corp. for over $128 million in unpaid severance. They claim they were fired without cause on the day Musk acquired Twitter, now rebranded as X. Alleging Musk fabricated reasons to avoid severance payments, the lawsuit accuses him of a pattern of non-payment, citing similar lawsuits from former Twitter employees. Musk’s representatives haven’t responded to the allegations. The executives assert they were entitled to severance per their contracts, with “cause” narrowly defined. Musk’s alleged reason for firing was linked to legal fees, deemed inappropriate by the executives. The lawsuit portrays Musk as cavalier towards financial obligations amid mounting lawsuits against X.
