As soon as Tesla’s stock started falling I knew this wasn’t going to happen. But from everything I’ve read the agreement is iron clad, Elon waived diligence, and he’s on the hook for 45B.

If I were Twitter I’d take my chances in court to sue him for everything I’m owed, the full 45B or something really close to it. At least they’re due the breakup fee. Maybe they can 10x that for breach of contract.

If this does go to court and the outcome is that the agreement is thrown out or something like that it will severely undermine the legally-binding nature of contracts and have all sorts of ramifications.
