The board decided to sell, not the C-level suite because they do not have that power.



Parag Agrawal, as CEO, was also a member of the board. (This is pretty common practice, among both private and public companies.)


The C suite has an incredible amount of influence to block a deal with a non-strategic acquirer like Elon. The threat of all executives resigning en masse can knee cap a business.
