Elon Musk has agreed to resolve a $128 million legal dispute with four former Twitter executives he dismissed after acquiring the platform in 2022.
Shortly after Musk purchased Twitter, he terminated CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and senior legal officers Sean Edgett and Vijaya Gadde. These executives allege they were denied severance pay because they insisted Musk honor his $44 billion acquisition deal when he attempted to withdraw. The lawsuit references Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, which cites Musk as vowing to “hunt every single one” of Twitter’s top management “till the day they die.”
Although a court document verifies that both sides have agreed to settle, the details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
These four are not the only ones to take legal action against Musk over severance. He also recently resolved a class action suit involving 6,000 former Twitter workers, many of whom reported they either received partial severance or none at all.
