Musk’s history with Agrawal has been fraught ever since he took over Twitter (now X) in 2022 and swiftly ousted him alongside other top executives. Reports suggest Agrawal was fired after refusing to remove a Twitter account Musk wanted taken down.

Now the billionaire has alleged that Parag Agrawal, the Indian-origin techie, who was appointed as Twitter CEO was fired for lack of productivity. Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, which led to mass resignation and layoffs of employees, including Agarwal. The billionaire claimed on X that "Parag got nothing done. Parag was fired."

Musk’s remarks coincided with a broader initiative that has placed him at the centre of controversy within the US Federal workforce.

He is an IIT alumnus who was fired within a year after getting a Rs 100 crore salary package at a social media company.

This notice for government employees in the US has come at a time when President Trump has openly stated that Elon Musk is doing a great job, but he wants him to work even faster and more aggressively.

Elon Musk took a swipe on Saturday (local time) at Parag Agrawal, former X chief executive officer (CEO), who was sacked in 2022 after the Tech billionaire took over the platform.

Elon Musk, in his role as a special adviser to the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has ordered federal employees to justify their work or risk losing their jobs. The move follows former US President Donald Trumps push for more aggressive cost-cutting.

The conflict between DOGE and federal employees has taken a turn for the worse as Elon Musk has issued a new ultimatum: report what progress you’ve made or resign.

Elon Musk asked Parag Agrawal what he got done last week. Now he's asking every federal worker the same question," a user said on X.

Billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk, now also a representative of the Trump government, asked every federal employee to submit a work report and dictated that failure to comply with the new order would be treated as resignation.
