Point is he was involuntarily fired in an unceremonious and embarrassing way on Musk's first day on the job. Based on his track record at Twitter, he deserved to be fired.
You're making that out to be such a great thing that he got fired because he gets a huge severance. Big deal. CEOs all over get huge severances for doing shit. Look at Mayer leaving Yahoo. At least she didn't get fired though.
Anyone with half a brain in his situation would have done what he did. It was obvious common sense to go to court with Musk. And the case was a slam dunk against Musk because of Musk , not Parag. He didn't make any brilliant moves. He just had to show up to court with Twitter's lawyers.
What would be impressive is if he deserved to stay on the company and worked with Musk to turn it around. But he didn't deserve it because he did squat for Twitter. Only thing he did was catch a lucky break at the end.
No, it's not a hard life at all, but not impressive at all either.
