I think all of this was planned, and that Musk played them brilliantly. My thoughts are echoed somewhat in the meme WLJ posted, but go even deeper on the financial side. I think he made the ridiculously high offer to buy knowing full well they wouldn't be able, or in this case willing, to provide the necessary "bot rot" documentation. He did it with the intention of creating a problem that drove stock price way down so he could snap up a bunch at discount prices. It's a giant middle finger to a company he feels wronged by.
First, put in the offer and get people thinking Twitter is about to explode upward so they buy up a bunch of stock (shareholder base dilution). Create minor hiccups along the way to start seeding caution and concern. Push one big problem (nondisclosure) to cement shareholder's concerns that something is wrong, creating panic and fomenting a stock plummet. Then, when stock is way, way down, kill the deal on a solid contract technicality. That leaves him free to rush back in and buy stock on the open market. That $40 billion committed to the deal will now buy twice as much.
He knows a lawsuit will force disclosure, and that Twitter will get their butts handed to them by the courts when the same stonewalling occurs. Even if it does develop into a full court battle, he still wins.
