The strongest evidence against Musk was Musk. His own 2017 emails supporting for-profit chats made the "betrayal" narrative very hard to sell.

Muskys problem is does things in the moment as a way to increase popularity without thinking that end up bitting him. e.g the twitter thing - forced to buy when he didn't want.

Extreme smartness has its own failure modes

Did you read the article:"...that his lawsuits had been filed too late."

To be fair, twitter ended up useful for him when he used it to buy his way into the US government and close down all the departments that were investigating his companies for breaking all sorts of laws.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

He lost in the sense that he filed a lawsuit and that lawsuit was dismissed. It seems like a reasonable way to use the word, no?

Obviously so. You're either responding to an LLM or a badly malfunctioning human.

An account that's two minutes old, defending Elon Musk in a way that makes no sense.

Sam is just too good at this game and as I said before [0] is far worse than Elon and also outsmarted him. Of course this will be appealed but, as you see the claims just don't stick. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41651664

Why do you think Sam is worse than Elon?

Presumably better at being devious. Elon is sloppy...

Reached for comment by TechCrunch, Musk’s lead counsel Marc Toberoff said, “One word: Appeal.” One wonders on what grounds? In the UK, in a civil case like this, the judge I think comments on the likelihood of an appeal avenue once the verdict has been reached.

To any lawyers in here, is there an argument to be made for the statue of limitations not to apply here
