Bret Taylor stated that Musk has to pay $1 billion for canceling the deal as per the legal statements and law. It is not easy to just walk away like it is nothing at all.
Elon Musk’s lawyers also said they are not responsible for this. They also refuse to pay the money for canceling the deal. Further, they sent letters to the board committee in which it was written,
“Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr. Musk’s requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information.”

“It discombobulated their whole operation. It’s going to be tough for Twitter to weather this.”
