That's only part two of the hard question, part one requires knowledge of M&A law, Delaware corporate precedents and Delaware chancellery psychology/game-theory to establish odds of the deal being forced, cancelled or in-between. Then part three is establishing the probability Elon Musk of all people will follow thru any given ruling and what happens if he doesn't play ball.
