The break fee is not an option, it's a penalty. Twitter can sue him to force the deal to go through unless it's off for a specific reason.

Musk is worth 2-3x Twitter. I'm guessing he can afford better lawyers to win this case. He also has much more at stake.

Better lawyers isn't a fool proof trump card you can use to just get out of anything. This isn't like Trump stiffing contractors on a job site where he has all the money and the contractors are (relatively speaking) penniless.
