The real question you should ask yourself is, if $44 billion is on the line, how long would you continue to pursue the case in the face of lawyers who are just trying to drag it out? Even if it went on for years (it's not assured Musk's lawyers could drag it out past a year), I can think of 44 billion reasons to continue with the case.
They won’t get any more buyers while it’s happening and it’s a massive distraction.
I’ve worked at companies like this and it brutal on employee morale. People just leave.
No one is going to buy Twitter at anything close to what Musk offered.

You know how much Twitter engineers get paid, right? Twitter offer fully remote positions; no engineer with any sense is going to work at some no-name company for ~$100k if they can get an offer from Twitter, which will be almost twice that at least.
Who cares? If you think you're going to win, it's just Elon causing his future employees to quit. It's not going to affect your payday of $54.20. Similarly, no other buyers will make lower offers. Those are, by definition, worse than just suing.
