Former Twitter Executives Sue Elon Musk and X Corp. for Over $128 Million in Unpaid Severance

The lawsuit, involving former CEO Parag Agrawal and three other top executives, alleges Musk fired them without cause to avoid severance payments.

Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and general counsel Sean Edgett are suing Elon Musk and X Corp. for more than $128 million in unpaid severance.
The executives allege they were fired without cause immediately after Musk's takeover of Twitter in October 2022, in an effort to avoid severance payments.
The lawsuit claims Musk has a pattern of not paying bills and believes 'the rules don't apply to him,' citing numerous lawsuits over unpaid severance and bills.
Musk's alleged refusal to pay severance is part of a larger pattern of avoiding financial obligations to former employees, landlords, and vendors.
The plaintiffs are seeking severance benefits, attorneys' fees, and interest, citing contracts that entitled them to severance if Twitter became a privately-held company.
