My guess: the new boss gets started on a more positive note if they don't have to fire people because the old boss did it for him?

Or at least, that would be a good explanation if we weren't talking about Musk.

What's in it for Parag to play bad cop for Musk? Enhanced pay-off?

That he can take tough/unpopular calls and do what is asked or need be done. Just like being popular among techies is good thing in some circles. Being unpopular can be good in other places.
