The firm, which represented Twitter as Musk tried to back out of his deal to buy Twitter, received a $90 million fee for getting the deal over the finish line, according to The New York Times. Elon Musk’s Twitter alleges the payment is “unjust enrichment” and wants the fee to be returned.
It’ll probably only cost him $1mm to maybe recoup $90mm. He probably thinks the payoff chance is worth the pocket change. The judge really out to hit him with a frivolous lawsuit penalty.
