Business psychologists call buyer's remorse the behavior of a consumer who receives new information after making a purchase decision - and would then prefer to reverse the purchase. If you've hastily bought the wrong shoes online, you can return them, but in the case of a $44 billion purchase, rescinding the contract isn't quite as easy.
At least that's what Elon Musk is finding out, who is experiencing what is perhaps the most expensive case of buyer's remorse. The Tesla boss and richest person in the world had signed an agreement to buy the social media service Twitter in April, which includes a penalty payment of one billion dollars in the event that the deal bursts. Musk now wants to scrap the deal, despite the threat of a billion-dollar fine.
