All of whom Musk blasted on Twitter

Ned Segal

Twitter’s chief financial officer, who spent five years as the social network’s chief bean counter. He previously worked at the software company Intuit and before that Goldman Sachs.

After successfully getting Musk to match his offer at $54.20 per share, Segal will receive a golden farewell worth $25.4 million.

Sean Edgett

Twitter’s general counsel was one of four Twitter employees who walked out of the building last night, along with Segal, Gadde and Agrawal.

Bret Taylor

Taylor is an experienced and respected technology leader, co-CEO of Salesforce and served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Twitter until Mr. Musk disbanded it.

In a filing on Monday, Mr Musk said: “The following persons who were directors of Twitter prior to the effective date of the merger are no longer directors of Twitter: Bret Taylor, Parag Agrawal, Omid Kordestani, David Rosenblatt, Martha Lane Fox, Patrick Pichette, Egon Durban, Fei-Fei Li and Mimi Alemayehou.’

Over the past few months, Taylor has been viewed as a calm broker dealing with the often erratic Musk and protecting shareholder interests.

Twitter announced would sue Musk to force him to take over for $54.20, which is way above Twitter’s current market price. His actions have helped make Twitter shareholders quite rich, and he has a stake in the company worth about $3 million.
