Except there's a very limited number of ways for the deal to fall through, and the contract is public.

The question is now if the law applies to Elon Musk or not. I hope it does, because laws only work if they apply to everybody equally. There's no part of the contract that says Elon Musk can leave because he messed up his bot calculations.
Maybe Twitter blinks and decides not to fight a billionaire over the issue. But if that happens, then we're in a situation where we tacitly agree that billionaires don't have to follow the law (because they figure they can leave any contract they sign unilaterally)
