The four executives, including former chief Parag Agrawal, said Mr Musk fired them as he took over Twitter, now X, "without reason, then made up fake cause" to avoid handing over the money.

They said the move was part of a "larger pattern" of refusing to pay former staff what they were due.

Mr Musk did not immediately comment.

Mr Agrawal filed the lawsuit with former chief financial officer Ned Segal, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde and former general counsel Sean Edgett.
