Then it is that omnipotent Mr. Shareholder that could sue the board is the villain here: he knew what Musk was going to do, he knew that Musk wanted to back out, yet he chose to press the board.
This is completely backwards. Did Twitter’s board make him make an offer? I don’t go around making multi-billion dollar offers for things I don’t actually want.

Meanwhile, Musk initiated every stage of the acquisition and dictated the terms.
