What an odd state of affairs that one of the richest people to ever inhabit the planet is the boy who cried pedophile. Worst timeline, ever.
I agree that there’s not enough information to decide veracity of Elon’s lawsuit, but based on his history, he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt. I’d say a key indicator is if the attorneys representing Musk in this lawsuit are his employees or an outside legal firm with a track record. If they’re employees, he’s lying. They filed this lawsuit because he told them to because he knows no outside agency is taking that case for less money than he’d potentially recover. If he’s telling the truth, outside attorneys would be okay taking the case because they’ll get to notch an easy win.
It seems like they fulfilled their legal obligation as the legal counsel for Twitter. “The bulk of the $84.3 million paid to Wachtell on October 27 was allegedly a "success fee" for forcing Musk to close the deal.”
I see no problem with this, a lot of lawyers work on contingency. If the contract stipulated the amounts above the $18 MM in previously owed invoices, they should be paid. Elon’s not happy about the Twitter deal and isn’t exactly known for paying bills that are contractually obligated, so this sounds like he’s trying to claw back as much cash as possible from his dumb Twitter takeover.
Just got a rescue dog in LA. $495 adoption fee, $10 application fee, but the dog is a delight so far. She’s so lovable it’s crazy I waited this long. Single dudes, heed my words: get a cute dog and walk it twice a day, learn to cook, keep your place clean, and get your issues worked out with a therapist. Treat your dates/partners with respect and watch how your love life improves.
I’m ~~stop~~ still hoping to find one at a local thrift store that somebody bought during the pandemic, used for a week or two and then donated because they’re not serious about homemade bread.
I am definitely getting another brother ASAP.
Should I call your mom, or…?
I think there was an opportunity for Elon to turn out differently, but his upbringing almost guaranteed he’d turn out a bastard. He might be into rockets and electric cars, but that doesn’t mean he actually makes things work, he’s an executive who started life somewhere between third and home. He got his start in Canada when he stepped of a plan with uncut emeralds from his family’s emerald mine. He could afford to take risks and such because his family’s wealth was extraordinary (and built on the exploitation of others, which totally wouldn’t be a recurring theme in companies he runs).
