In all seriousness, I'm really hoping that Twitter takes Musk down a notch here, and most of the legal maneuvering has filled me with childish glee. Until today, that is.

The corporate secretary always as a fiduciary responsibility to record in written form what was discussed at a board meeting.
Human beings on juries (or judges) decide these things. If you promise to sell someone a car and don't disclose that a raccoon is living in the seat cushion, it doesn't really matter what you made them sign, you're at risk of an adverse judgement.
