Musk’s Martian Severance Scuffle

Elon Musk sued over $128m unpaid severance at Twitter
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is facing a lawsuit over allegedly not paying a $128m severance package to former Twitter employees. The lawsuit claims that Musk agreed to pay the severance package as part of a deal to acquire Twitter, but has failed to do so.
The lawsuit was filed in a California court by the former employees, who are seeking the full amount owed to them. Musk has not yet commented on the lawsuit, but it is likely to generate further controversy given his high profile and the amount of money involved.
This is not the first time Musk has faced legal troubles. He has been sued in the past over his handling of Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity, as well as for his public statements on Twitter. It remains to be seen how this latest lawsuit will impact his reputation and business dealings.
