Really hope Microsoft just closes over FTC.
I'm sure re-negotiating the merger agreement will just be crossing FTC off the list 
I seem to recall a few months ago an opinion piece from someone in the industry who essentially said that FTC doesn't see these court cases as a loss, they see them as an opportunity to paint a narrative, basically they will build all these losses up and say "look, we are trying to stop corporations but we can't because the laws are old and outdated, we need the laws changed to be able to effectively tackle big tech"
Looking at their Meta court case, which was ridiculous on so many levels that anybody could have told them they would lose, I'm starting to think there is a little truth to the above speculation. Not sure even if that were true if it would work out for them though, Lol. If anything, I'm pretty sure the FTC's budget is more likely to be gutted.
