I believe the agreement between Twitter and Musk had a $1B acquisition cancellation clause built into in, so if Musk can't successfully argue for breach of contract he'll have to pay this $1B break-up fee, rather than be forced to complete the purchase.

The contract includes a specific performance clause, so it's not as simple as a $1B break up fee.
That’d be a nice infusion of capital for Twitter. And maybe that’s the best case scenario outcome that they’re actually hoping for.
