      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
