Not too difficult to image at all - EM draws upon the contractually committed financing he presented to the Twitter board (the bulk of which is coming out of his own fortune) and does what he agreed to do: but Twitter for $44 billion. Just like the merger agreement says.
If Twitter wins the suit, EM will be in exactly the place he bargained to be in when he signed the merger agreement: the proud new owner of Twitter.
who promptly fires everyone at Twitter who was involved in the lawsuit?
The people involved in the lawsuit that Twitter won will not likely have trouble finding another job. That will be a career triumph!
Those people don't work at Twitter; they're board members.
I think Musk was probably gonna fire a whole lot of management team in his original plan. They're not worse off...
EM interference.
That would be ending well, from the perspective of Twitter’s current stockholders.
Twitter almost certainly will win the lawsuit, Musk has very little chance...
