Elon Musk’s recent tweets cast doubt on whether the billionaire will follow through with his agreement to buy Twitter Inc. TWTR 2.68% for $44 billion. Twitter’s board, meanwhile, says the agreement remains in effect and it intends to enforce it.

As with everything involving the unpredictable Tesla Inc. TSLA -6.42% chief executive, it is far from clear how the situation will unfold and he could still close the deal as planned. While this diagram is in no way exhaustive, it illustrates the ways in which a potential clash could play out.
