Elon Musk’s 24-hour email ultimatum unfairly dismissed Twitter staff, court says.

        It shouldn’t, generally the order will be worded something like "The plaintiff has been awarded $xxxxx.xx + legal fees " as in whatever legal fees they accrued the defendant will have to pay in addition

        But then again, what do I know IANAL lol

          Oh and he overpaid because he wanted the per-stock purchase stock to have the “420” gag. So instead of paying $53 per stock, he paid $54.20. That’s a total of $150 million more for a stupid joke.
