Musk already bought the company. The issue is whether Twitter can force him to pay.

No, he didn't. If he did, the company wouldn't be suing him, since he would control it.

I think you’d correctly say he bought the company but has not settled, so he does not yet own the company.
a distinction without a difference, he doesn't own anything beyond the board seat that his equity holdings afford him. Vanguard owns more of Twitter than he does.
