Bad Purchase posted:legal analysis is pointless because laws don’t apply to rich people and it’s just going to come down to which side manages to get the case in front of their chosen corrupt judge the entire point of contract law is to mediate cases like this where two very rich people get into a dispute it absolutely matters

An interesting thing from this guy's Twitter thread: the assumption people have that this will be one of those long, drawn-out court lawsuits that takes years to get through. When in fact, given the way the laws in Delaware are structured, it's very likely it will be decided in a matter of months (unless they reach a settlement before then). Delaware's laws that pertain to these kinds of cases tend to be very heavily weighted in the favor of corporations.

Yeah this is not gonna be a years-long thing, other writers who know about this stuff are also saying that it'll be quick. My guess is that the judge enforces specific performance and twitter agrees to a bigger payout than just the $1 billion to let Musk walk away. Twitter is happy, the banks who are regretting signing the finance offers are happy, Musk is mildly humiliated but still super-rich.

Delaware basically continues to exist as a state for the sole purpose of providing a consistently favorable court system to corporations that trick suckers into signing bad contracts, the law can be bought but he can't afford a competitive bid Yeah, some people are clearly thinking this is "musk vs twitter libs" but it's actually "musk vs 'the infrastructure of capitalism'" and they want their loving money.

Twitter needs some "fixing" at this point, but tbh I dont think he can pull it off. I'd actually like him to fix twitter because it has good potential but is mismanaged imho

Hope is hard to come by these days but there's a very real possibility that Musk is forced to blow all his liquid assets on Twitter, Twitter goes the way of Myspace inside four years, and we don't ever have to hear about either again

For some reason, I was thinking there might have been something else going on with Twitter involving Tesla and that company's self-driving cars. Does Twitter as a company have any ownership or patents on anything that could be exploited for that?

My money is on them forcing specific performance AND going all the way through with it at the agreed price. It's in all the shareholder's interests to get more money for Twitter than they would ever get for it otherwise, and all this poo poo has been grinding the shares down further. Besides, it seems clear that there are so many people who want out, and that the management loving hate Twitter, and getting a historically great exit would make an easy c suite somewhere else.

Elong wasted the valuable time of a legitimate AI savant, who was my housemate in grad school and actually finished a PhD. Computer Scientist specialized in machine learning vision who joined a startup in NYC, which Tesla acqui-hired, thereby wholesale replacing the team previously poached from the cream of Carnegie Mellon's CS department. They laid off his crew recently and I don't think his six figgies was commensurate with the opportunity cost of burning years out of a productive maybe-genius

Yes, the car could automatically tweet out excuses as it crashes into an oncoming train or into a parked truck, thus saving Tesla supporters and Musk valuable time later.

Apologies if already posted - but I read this and felt like it answers a lot of questions: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-07-09/elon-s-out There is an interesting point made about whether or not Elon would actually comply with anything if ordered to by a lower court, "What if the court orders Musk to close the deal and he says no? They’re not gonna put him in Chancery jail", and what impact this would have on the Delaware corporate law system as a whole. I kinda feel like it's all very well courts telling normal people they are bound by XYZ and are ordered to do ABC, but billionaires? Billionaires who are more than happy to weaponise ~100M of followers?

Well, yeah, it is ridiculous.. I think it's more of a case of him being likely to just laugh about a serious judgement openly, knowing they aren't going to do anything to him or that any fine he gets would be less than what he's being asked to pay to actually proceed with it all. Honestly the funniest thing would be Twitter just straight up banning him, although they can't easily do that with obvious legitimacy within the confines of their own rules.

the thing with bots on Twitter is that it has a massive and diverse user base and you would expect the bots to be just as diverse. so actually calculating the number of bots is going to be very difficult. so in those circumstances would Twitter actually claim there were a certain number of bots? I think instead they would define a methodology to estimate bots and use that number. so they wouldn't be making any claims about the accuracy of the number. all they are claiming is the number was correctly calculated using the method they stated was used.

Durzel posted:Apologies if already posted - but I read this and felt like it answers a lot of questions: The Chancery Court can in fact put people in jail. It's quite rare for them to do so, but it's quite rare for people to defy court rulings. There are a couple of people who can't set foot on US soil anymore because they defied the court and had to flee the country to avoid arrest.
