Musk has been saying that on Twitter, but in Twitter's court filing they exhaustively outline that a) it isn't true and b) it isn't even a valid request from Musk under the contract. Considering how misleading and full of shit Musk has been about this whole thing at this stage I am well inclined to believe Twitter.

I've read the entire complaint, and this is my take as well. Twitter bent over backwards to comply with these requests even if they were invalid.

Twitter played this brilliantly. They kept complying and playing along even with the most obvious nonsense, letting Musk run his impulsive and overconfident mouth.

The number of times he legally shot himself in the foot is just staggering. There's documentation of everything, because he happily provided it. Musk's lawyers and bankers must have been dying a thousand deaths reading his tweets and other public remarks.

If twitter was a house he was buying, I think the analogy is he waived his right to a house inspection being a cause of breaking the contract. He can still have the house inspected though.

Musk's lawyers and bankers probably appreciate the increased fees though.
