The world's richest man and one of the world's most powerful social media platforms have been playing a high stakes ($43 Billion+) game. M&A scholar, Prof. Eric Talley uses this compelling case to shed insight both on how mergers are drafted as well as the levers of power that can be built into purchase agreements to give buyers the power to walk away from even a signed deal. Prof Talley gives strategic M&A insights into the Musk-Twitter saga and then goes on to explain what is truly unique from a legal perspective about this iconic deal.

Eric Talley is a professor at Columbia Law School and a national expert on corporate and M&A law.
