taanegl,

In today’s news, the sky is blue, wind blows and Elon Musk is an idiot.

Tiuku,

Suing a law firm isn’t very high on my bucket list

Yoz,

Lol hate being poor man

A man with Musk’s resources could change the lives of thousands of people in an hour, yet this is what he does with his time.

BornOnJuly1,

This reminds me that we need a NotTheOnion.

They say women are too emotional to run the world, yet this motherfucker can’t even run a single company without constant foot stomps.

Elon Musk the kinda guy to try to sue Santa for not bringing him enough emeralds.

half_fiction,

Anger somehow don’t count as an emotion in the patriarchy.

you’re right… unfortunately.

Diabolo96,

He probably did scream at some slave in south Africa for not bringing him enough emeralds.

Well this got lost in the postoon my instance. Just appeared in my notifications this morning.

toasteecup,

This is how I know I’ve found my people

I readily admit that I’m not invested enough to even read the whole story. One company is accusing another company of wrongdoing, blah blah blah. The details don’t matter.

Musk is an asshole, and it’s funny to me that he’s mad. That’s it.

Trapping5341,

He is trying to claw back .2% of what he paid for Twitter… Why does he even care? That’s like a normal person trying to claw back 40 bucks on a $20,000 purchase but not really because it’s less than a rounding error compared to his networth

Textbook definition of: “Penny wise and pound foolish.”

Trapping5341,

Yeah. The owner of my company is like that 😂

Protoknuckles,

The owner of most companies, I’ve found.

Trapping5341,

True true. My favorite is that we are a trucking company. They genuinely debated dropping some out truck down 5 weight classes to save $700 a year/truck. They could only do that to like 10 trucks and those trucks pretty regularly hit the max legal weight they are currently registered for.

ZagamTheVile,

It has nothing to do with the amount. It’s all about fucking the other guy.

I’ve done work in homes and overhead clients bragging to other owners about how much they fucked the contractor for. Like, they have conversations about it. And it’ll be a few dozen grand on a multi million dollar home.

In one development there was a kind of club for these guys. They’d go and get drinks and just boast about who they fucked over and for how much. I know this because one of them was the contractor that got fucked. He was in on it. He actually played the game with them. He never really lost mo ey though. He’d just not pay the subs. It’s OK though, he blew his brains out a few years ago so he doesn’t play anymore.

Jesus, I did not see that ending coming

teh_bishop,

Well that’s one way.

whatsarefoogee,

Because he spent all his liquid cash to buy Twitter and had to take on additional loans.

If you emptied your bank account for $20,000 and loaned an extra $5,000 to buy a BMW which constantly needs maintenance, an extra $40 might sound pretty good.

Yes you might have a house worth $500,000 but you would not be happy if you had to sell it or take loans against it.

Trapping5341,

Yeah I guess that’s true but maybe he shouldn’t have said he would buy it if he really didn’t want to, ya know, buy it 😂

Newstart,

The new firm he is using is probably yes dummy, give us more money to recoup nothing. Because you don’t think a law firm hired by a big corporation won’t know how to cover themselves legally.

DevCat,

Elon Musk’s X Corp. this week sued a law firm that Twitter hired last year after Musk tried to break their $44 billion merger agreement. Musk’s lawsuit in San Francisco County Superior Court alleges that Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz overcharged Twitter when it collected $90 million—including $84.3 million on the same day Musk completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.

He really needs to re-read his buddy, trump’s playbook. Don’t pay them in the first place.

ProfessorScience,

He didn’t. This was a last minute payout by Twitter prior to the change in ownership. He’s trying to not pay them retroactively.

Newstart,

That musk be hurtful , it is like your ex wife is paying her lawyer that helped her got half of your money with your own money lol.

Polydextrous,

It’s like getting a divorce, paying a ton of money in legal fees (as well as your wife paying a bunch), and then getting back together and trying to sue your wife’s lawyers because that money she spent is your joint money again. What a dumbass

Newstart,

Yeah your analogy is way better lol. Yeah he is a dumbass lol.
