He was forced to follow through with the sale, the law is what protected Twitter’s board of executives and shareholders from Musk not taking Twitter private.

After the business is private, the owner has no contractual obligation to take actions that benefit the company (unlike a CEO), he probably could have just shut Twitter down right after he bought it if he wanted to.

Idk how many Twitter employees held shares and how many shares they held but the shares were their legal protection against Musk taking Twitter private and running it into the ground.

I agree that we need changes that favor employee protections but it’s a slippery slope as to who exactly is liable. Is it Musk? Twitter’s BoD/shareholders? What exactly are they liable for? [Quick edit] Also, what would the penalties be and who would be the claimants?
