Elon Musk took to Twitter to post some memes that, in their own way, preview his side of the coming legal battle. KevinTDugan writes
Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer; Photo: Stephen Lovekin/BEI/Shutterstock After trying to pull out of his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk is appealing to his millions of followers by attempting to meme his way out of the deal. Twitter, however, is planning on enforcing the deal through a different public forum: the Delaware Chancery Court, where Musk’s smirk and copy-and-paste macros aren’t exactly the stuff of winning arguments.
The second meme I’ll come to later, because the Twitter board’s response has been very different. Rather than use their platform to try to build up clout, the company reportedly hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Twitter is likely to sue Musk some time this week, as early as today, in order to force him to go through with the $44 billion deal. One of the lawyers who works for that law firm is Leo E. Strine, a living giant in corporate law.
This brings us back to the second meme that Musk posted. It’s a picture of Chuck Norris looking smug before a chess board where he only has a white pawn, facing against an opponent who has all the pieces, to which Musk also responded “Chuckmate.”
