One of the first things Elon Musk did after taking over Twitter—which the billionaire has since renamed X—was fire several of Twitter’s senior leaders, including then-CEO Parag Agrawal, “for cause.” It capped a fractious relationship between the two business leaders since Musk first expressed his intention to buy the social media company in April last year.
Yet Musk was wary of Agrawal from their very first meeting—namely, because he thought the social media CEO was far too likable, according to an excerpt from author Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography of the controversial billionaire, published in the Wall Street Journal.
