IANAL but I was under the impression that you needed some kind of substantial misconduct to have taken place to fire someone for cause. "I think your performance was bad" or "I disagree with your executive decisions" does not count as cause. Unless Parag was embezzling or sexually harassing subordinates I don't see how cause exists here.
Clearly Musk is just being spiteful here. The twitter executives forced him to overpay for Twitter by billions of dollars after he got cold feet and now he's taking revenge by waging a war of legal attrition to force them to waste millions of dollars on legal fees fighting one frivolous lawsuit after another.
Can't wait for all the Musk fans to come swarming into this thread to reflexively defend everything he does, no matter how objectively horrible.
