But what is Parag Agrawal's future in the company?
If Musk decides to fire Parag Agrawal, the billionaire will still have to pay him around $42 million.
Breitbart.com
According to research firm Equilar, as noted by Reuters, Musk will need to pay Agarwal around $42 million if he is terminated within 12 months of a change in control at the microblogging site.
In a securities filing on April 14, Musk said that he doesn¡¯t have confidence in Twitter's management. This brings us back to the question if Agrawal will continue to serve as the Twitter CEO in the future or not.

For now, he is the CEO. Even Parag is unsure ¡°which direction the platform will go.¡±
Agrawal was appointed as the CEO of Twitter right after co-founder Jack Dorsey stepped down from his position. Parag has been serving as Twitter CEO since November last year.
He previously served as CTO at the company. As per Twitter's proxy, mainly in stock awards, Parag Agrawal¡¯s total compensation for 2021 was around $30.4 million.
After Elon Musk's deal with Twitter was finalized, India-born CEO Parag Agrawal told worried employees that he didn¡¯t know ¡°what direction this company would go.¡±
Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important. https://t.co/5iNTtJoEHf
¡ª Parag Agrawal (@paraga) April 25, 2022
The remarks by Agrawal, who took over the helm of the social networking giant just five months ago, came during a meeting with Twitter employees on Monday afternoon after the company said it had accepted Musk¡¯s offer to buy it for about $44 billion.
¡°It¡¯s important to acknowledge that all of you have many different feelings about what is happening,¡± The New York Times newspaper quoted Agrawal as saying.
