The firm, which represented Twitter as Musk tried to back out of his deal to buy Twitter, received a $90 million fee for getting the deal over the finish line, according to The New York Times. Elon Musk’s Twitter alleges the payment is “unjust enrichment” and wants the fee to be returned.

Musk has always been good at selling himself, but is otherwise a fucking idiot.

Once you internalize this truth, most of his actions, and the actions of others around him, make sense.

Peter Thiel convinces Musk that it's a great idea to buy Twitter, Musk convinces a few bank managers that he's a genius and will make a lot of money, both are lying their asses off.

There were a few other players in the background, all playing on Musk's ego, all wanting Twitter to tank.
