See, if he’d done that, he would have looked bad, and he couldn’t have that. He wanted out, but only if he could have the out not look like he was the one backing out. He needed it to be Twitter’s fault, same way as he’s trying to blame anyone by himself for advertisers fleeing.

No he didn’t. The 1 billion fine was not a “get out of the contract” option.

There is an excerpt of the agreement in there. Seems pretty clear to me, but I’m open to hear your interpretation.

The 1 billion termination fee only applied in very specific circumstances. He couldn’t just choose to pay it because he didn’t want to go ahead with the purchase.
