Ample room for schadenfreude in Musk's lawsuit against Wachtell because (1) he's right, he was soaked for $90mm but (2) he's going to lose, not least because it's standard for merger clients to get soaked and the reasons why are because of the same broken financial system that made Musk so rich.

@maxkennerly And they already have the money, so their calendar is wide open to fight him.
@maxkennerly I think my favorite part about this is that Musk believes he can lean on his finances to draw the prospect of litigation out and make it too painful for the firm, but the firm will quite literally just bill the hours it’s own staff are dedicating to this to another paying client, thereby never absorbing an actual cost. It’s literally the model.
Considering that Melon Husk allegedly doesn't pay his bills until FORCED to do so... it's pretty funny that he's spending his time whining about being overcharged by Twitter's outside counsel! Which they only had to hire because HE HIMSELF made this chaotic offer for the company!
@maxkennerly "broken financial system" and legal profession.
