Did you watch the video? It seems absurd to claim that they are on the hook for hourly agreements given that they were advising on the merger literally to the last hour due to musks history of backing out of deals last minute.

In fact, had they not represented twitter until the 11th hour it’s very possible musk would have continuously tried to litigate instead of close.

These discussions and discourse by twitters board very likely were part of the success fee charged.

Musk is dumb and he will lose this one too. You can’t argue unconscionable contracts when you’re literally one of “the smartest and most powerful people in the world”
