You are assuming he is consulting with and listening to his lawyers before all his antics. It's obvious that their role is more damage control after the fact.

With Elon Musk, I always think of that comic with Spock saying "don't do the thing" and Kirk saying "I'm gonna do the thing!"

I don't think lawyer fees come close to making a dent for someone worth $200b+...

Elon Musk increased his wealth by $121 billion in 2021. Let's say he spent $5 million on lawyers. That's like someone on $121k spending $5 on a lawyer.
It's basically nothing to him.
first they assure him that they can make him walk out of the deal.
he pays them.
then they assure him that their angry letters to twitter will suffice.
he pays them.
then they assure him that he has good chances of winning the lawsuit.
he pays them.
this racket probably ended this morning when Zuckerberg texted musk saying "yo bro forget it my cousin jim got sued and lost so yeah just bite the bullet bro"
After 3 seconds of reflection, musk decided to follow Zuckerberg's rigorous and sophisticated legal advice, because that's how he makes important decisions worth $40 billion
A fool and his money are soon parted, lawyers know this very well.
