Actually still undersells it a bit.
It's like buying a product, refusing to sign the standard contract a typical customer signs, having your lawyer create a custom contract that waives the return period, then complaining about not being able to return it.
Bewildering honestly. Like he must have thought that Twitter would use that clause in some way against him or something?
He bought Twitter. And then he didn’t like what happened to it while the deal was being closed and tried to back out of the sale.
