Twitter Inc CEO Parag Agrawal would get an estimated $42 million if Billionaire Elon Musk sacks him within 12 months of a change in control, according to research firm Equilar.</p>
<p>
Billionaire Elon Musk, who struck a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion on Monday had said in a securities filing on April 14 that he did not have confidence in Twitter&#39;s management team. This opens up the distinct possibility of the CEO being ousted.</p>
<p>
Twitter will no longer be a publicly traded company and will be run as a privately owned firm by Musk.</p>
<p>
Equilar&#39;s estimate includes a year&#39;s worth of Agrawal&#39;s base salary plus accelerated vesting of all equity awards, an Equilar spokesperson said, based on Musk&#39;s offering price of $54.20 per share and terms in the company&#39;s recent proxy statement.</p>
<p>
Agrawal was Twitter&#39;s chief technology officer before he was appointed CEO in November. His total compensation for 2021 was $30.4 million, according to Twitter&#39;s proxy, largely in stock awards.</p>
<p>
A Twitter representative declined to comment on Equilar&#39;s estimate.</p>
<p>
According to a Reuters report, the Twitter CEO told employees on Monday that the future of the social media company is uncertain after the deal with Elon Musk closes. He was speaking to a town hall meeting.</p>
<p>
&quot;Once the deal closes, we don&#39;t know which direction the platform will go,&quot; Reuters cited Agrawal as saying.</p>
<p>
Musk will join Twitter staff for a question-and-answer session at a later date, the company told employees.</p>
