There is an excerpt of the agreement in there. Seems pretty clear to me, but I'm open to hear your interpretation.
The 1 billion termination fee only applied in very specific circumstances. He couldn't just choose to pay it because he didn't want to go ahead with the purchase.

Edit: Well, to be clear he actually he could decide to pay 1 billion and walk away but he would be opening himself up to a multi-billion dollar lawsuit from Twitter for breaking the contract.
