I'm pretty sure most people saying Yes or No to this don't have the information or legal background to actually give that answer.

Saying something confidently does not make it so.

Most folks are basing their opinions off the standard business acquisition contracts, which include limited exit opportunities for the buyer.

Several of these contracts have even gone to court, so their typical clauses are public knowledge (including the verdicts), even if the specifics are not.

EDIT: The actual contract is public (which makes sense, Twitter is public; a deal to buy would also be public). I have posted it in a sibling contract.

Then why does (or did) everyone believe Musk? Why do they believe everything else said confidently on the Internet?
