马斯克与社交平台 X(原推特)已与一批前高层管理人员达成和解,这些前高管此前因马斯克在 2022 年收购推特后拒付遣散费而提起诉讼。

原告包括前推特首席执行官帕拉格·阿格拉瓦尔(Parag Agrawal)在内,他们声称公司欠付 1.28 亿美元,并指控马斯克出于“报复心理”而扣留款项,因为他被迫完成了这笔收购。

一份十月签署的法院命令显示,双方已达成和解,但具体条款尚未披露,因此推迟了包括马斯克本人在内的多场证词取证。

诉讼文件还引用了《埃隆·马斯克传记》中的内容,指出马斯克当时匆忙完成收购,以便能以“有原因解雇(for cause)”为由辞退高管,从而避免支付遣散费和股票期权。

这起和解是 X 公司就遣散费问题达成的第二次和解协议。此前在 8 月,X 已就另一宗涉及前员工的遣散费诉讼达成和解。

Musk Settles Twitter Executive Severance Dispute

This news excerpt reports that Elon Musk and X have reached a settlement with a group of high-level former Twitter executives who had sued over unpaid severance following Musk's acquisition of the company in 2022. The former executives, including former CEO Parag Agrawal, claimed they were owed $128 million and alleged Musk withheld the payments as "revenge" for being forced to complete the acquisition. A court order signed in October indicates the settlement has been reached, though the terms remain undisclosed, causing the postponement of depositions, including one scheduled for Musk. The lawsuit referenced portions of the Elon Musk biography, which suggested Musk rapidly closed the deal to fire the executives "for cause" to avoid paying their severance and vesting stock options. This settlement is the second agreement X has reached with former employees regarding severance pay, following a separate lawsuit resolved in August.
