As soon as the Twitter takeover was completed, Elon Musk replaced Paras Agrawal as the CEO of Twitter, paying a compensation of $42 Million, as per several media reports.

The takeover for Musk wasn’t easy as there was bad blood between Elon Musk and Parag Agrawal, and none of them was hidden from the public eye.

It has been a long battle for Musk for the twitter leadership which also concludes a long legal battle, as the lawsuit made their acrimonious message exchanges public. "I don’t have confidence in management," Musk said in one early filing about the deal. "You are free to tweet ‘is Twitter dying?’ or anything else about Twitter,” Parag Agrawal wrote, "but it’s my responsibility to tell you that it’s not helping me make Twitter better in the current context.

Musk’s intention of buying Twitter was clear from the beginning. During the takeover battle, when Musk claimed that Twitter was understating the number of spam accounts on its service, Agrawal laid out a detailed defence in a series of tweets. Musk’s response: a single poop emoji conveying his disdain.

Paras Agrawal's expected salary figure is based on the research done by form Equilar. The estimate includes a year's worth of Agrawal's base salary plus accelerated vesting of all equity awards.

He was the first Indian-origin CEO of Twitter in November 2021. The IIT Bombay and Stanford alumnus joined the company in 2011 when there were fewer than 1,000 employees. He became the company’s chief technology officer (CTO) in 2017.

 He’s also the youngest, 38 years old becoming CEO of a big technology company
