You can force someone to be pregnant, but can't force someone to buy something.
??? just go there with some cops and make him sign the things. or are they going to have to invent an anti-repo man
It's probably depressing to be a regulator who actually cares about punishment, because really your job is greasing the wheels of capital.
No wonder the revolving door of private industry to government regulation to private industry exists. Lenin complained about it 100 years ago.
Anyways I wonder if Musk did this just to have a public reason to sell Tesla stock without causing panic.
Yeah, most likely just a scheme to sell Tesla stock. Even he isn't dumb enough to know its grossly overvalued, and he needs to cash some now
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 421. One after The Weed Number. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the factory to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That horse! Are you telling me that a man just happens to offer something like that? No! He orchestrated it! Elon! He shot a car into space! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the emerald drawer! But not our Elon! Couldn't be precious Elon! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a billionare? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance!
real normal country hours, like he has plants on the us doesn't him just no joke take them and give them to twitter let twitter do the twitter car the car that hates you back or whatever
When it comes to civil type cases, any case where law enforcement doesn't take your directly to jail, it's pretty hard to get anyone to follow.
It's actually really hard to collect after the court orders a judgement in a civil case in your favor. Company to company, or insurance to private is easier. Cuz they want to rule of order to prevail so their businesses can keep existing in good faith.
But a judgment from an individual to individual is not easy to enforce. And that's basically my take here. It's that the judge realizes that musk is an individual. One with the means to ignore the order and keep going in other court cases. His been doing it already with the sec.
The reason it's easier for a company to collect from an individual is because they basically have the state and finance behind them. They can go to the bank, or the state and ask for help. But when it's let's say you are suing your neighbor for damages cuz of something. It's basically in good faith and that person respecting the rule of law that makes them pay up. The can and many times just don't pay nor follow the order.
It would undermine the system just like she says.
What's legal bills to the richest man in the world?
That's the issue. The judge knows it's nothing to him. So his just going to get slapped with a fine so the system can keep operating in good faith.
I don't think people realize how much of everything in the world is just good faith and people wanting some type of order.
You can get a huge order in your favor on a civil case. And if the defendant doesn't want to pay. You really don't have much recourse. The state is not going to sieze that person's assest for you.
I'm not a lawyer. But contempt of court on a civil case isn't a thing. They aren't going to drag you too jail for it.
But i also don't know if this is a civil case I'm not really following it.
You can file for garnishment though. Probably wouldn't work on Musk, because he technically doesn't 'take wages', but that is the normal course of things.
Creditors can
Individuals in most states cant.
I don't really know where this musk case lands. But it's clear the judge knows she's powerless to make him buy Twitter. Probably shouldn't of said it out loud though. Gives the game away
Its crazy to see a billionaire so blatantly and publicly ignoring the court systems, really shows how little power the courts have to regulate anything
The entire economy is dependent on fucking dumbasses like him and the government is incapable of stopping them lol
really shows how little power the courts have to regulate anything
*regulate anything the wealthy do
they're perfectly happy to ruin poor and minority lives every single day
Hmm... my money is that a "failure to follow the court's ruling" will help to depress Tesla stock. Not sure how :melon-musk: is trying to play this.
