IANAL, but I really enjoyed reading this. It basically summarizes why Twitter/Musk has to keep the legal agreements regarding benefits and severance that were part of the acquisition agreement.

Lawyers in positions of strength simply do not write like this. Seriously, personal threats? This person is playing it up for their clients but they need a real lawyer asap.

This particular letter is rather narrowly adapted to the recipient but, yes, lawyers in positions of overwhelming positions of strength do write demand letters that look a lot like this, to the point that they end up being (positive) examples used in law schools.

This does not read like a lawyer letter. Something is off…

There's a bit of a tradition of this sort of thing. The classic is this one, of course: https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/very-truly-yours

But there are many more; some more modern examples: https://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/the-greatest-letter-ever-the...

It's... one way to do things; most lawyers don't write letters like this, but it's hardly unprecedented.

The first link’s response was written by a baseball team.

(Edit: my mistake their counsel!)

And the first example in the second link, quote ‘This one is kind of fudging the title of “lawyer letter” since the bar’s owner wrote the letter pro se.’

> The first link’s response was written by a baseball team.

Written by the team's general counsel, not ball players.

Wait, is your contention that a baseball stadium's general counsel should be held to a different standard than other lawyers? Why?

What do you think is 'off' here? Like, that would appear to be a real lawyer who is a partner is a real law firm.
