Twitter likely spent tens of millions on the litigation, which Musk now needs to pay. But it’s not unusual for the loser in a legal battle to get the total bill.
What is unusual is a firm like CRA, which is hired by the law firms, suing the underlying client. I’m guessing that Musk has stiffed the law firms involved as well. (Otherwise, it would be strange if Musk paid the law firms $10m but didn’t pay the consulting firm $2m)
CRA says it signed a contract with three different law firms in the Musk litigation, all of which signed "on behalf of Twitter."

So Twitter hired CRA cause Musk countersued Twitter last year and now Musk has to pay for it?   
Oh I love the irony
