What if Elon Musk loses the Twitter case but defies the court?

The Delaware court has powers to enforce its orders, and could appoint a receivership to seize some of Musk’s assets, namely Tesla stock, if he doesn’t comply, according to Tom Lin, a law professor at Temple University. — Reuters

Twitter wants a Delaware court to order Elon Musk to buy the social media service for US$44bil (RM204.55bil), as he promised back in April. But what if a judge makes that ruling and Musk balks?
