Musk is not on the hook for $1B, Musk is on the hook for $44B. Delaware has significant precedent for forcing consummation of business deals in cases like these when the acquirer has the means, which Musk clearly does.

But Elon also has a not given a fuck in the past and gotten away with it. My guess is he will get away with it again, but then are we really living in a society with equal laws for everyone?

Texas isn't going to protect him (because they can't), so unless he wants to flee the country, he doesn't have many options.

That eould be great, Musk trying to "Ghosn" out of it.

Ghosn: Carlos Ghosn, former CEO of Nissan-Renault, held on Japan for some white collar crime and illegally smuggled out of Japan, with the help of a former Green Beret and his son, to Libanon, Ghosn home country. Since then he is no longer CEO and wanted internationally by Japan.
