given that this was approved by Twitter's outgoing board as a final “fuck you” to Musk (who tried to slither out of it with some paperwork sleight-of-hand), I’m curious where the wiggle room is in this agreement or how the law firm is even liable.

IANAL but I was told that Musk would have a much bigger chance of success with this lawsuit if he sued the Twitter's former management. Going after the law firm is allegedly pointless and purely vindictive.
that would make much more sense as they’re the ones who took action to screw Musk over in this way by offering such a huge overpayment to the firm at the last minute. Thing is: Twitter’s former board no longer exists as an entity to sue, so Musk is suing the only entity he can: the law firm.
And I’m sure the former board members knew that when they did this. lol
