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. The NYT uploaded a PDF of the lawsuit, if you want to read it yourself.

    I’d hope he’s doing this because he’s running out of money… but that’s not how capitalism works unfortunately.

      Although it may very well be caused by Twitter running out of money, which would be corroborated by Twitter’s lack of payment to various other parties. Giving Musk three options: Use more of his own money, admit defeat and massively scale back Twitter’s functionality and availability, or try to scam money out of other people.

      Clearly he’s not willing to spend his own money, or admit failure.
