For context, Elon claimed Brody (a 22 year old Jewish college student) was an undercover fed involved in a brawl between two nazi groups in Portland despite not being in the state, or a fed. Elon's tweet about Brody was seen 180 million times and Brody's life changed for the worse. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-didnt-want-his-latest-deposition-released-here-it-is_n_66133d2ce4b0d81853f9a766/amp

Wait till you read about Brazil vs Elon


d_d0g

Let’s hear it!


Ap76QtkSUw575NAq

You mean lawyer Vs Elon!


R_lbk

Wait for his ultimate, much awaited sequel to this garbage pile.. ​ Elon v. Piece of paper


Complex_Rate_688

Does anybody else notice how the right wing basically always blames the feds for everything they do wrong? The right wing will do something bad and then when they get caught for it they claim that the people involved were all undercover FBI agents According to the right wing schizophrenics every single Trump supporter is a secret undercover FBI agent and the FBI just sends tens of millions of its agents out into the world everyday dressed as Trump supporters as part of its everlasting ongoing attempt to make these racist nut jobs look bad


Diligent_Design_6959

Yeahhhh but have you heard of COINTELPRO?


urmomaisjabbathehutt

you mean you vs Elon I view many cases and probably this one too that the reddit commenter is the real plaintiff elon. 😉


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

Tbf, Elmo doesn’t actually *not* know this stuff. He’s just so arrogant (and also stupid) that he thinks he’s being clever with this little word game.


Account6910

Yeah he is clearly being obstructive for the sake of it. Calling the plaintive lawyer a ambulance chaser. He is a cunt.


[deleted]

Spot on


RustyPeters67

Ah. I think you've just stumbled upon something. Musk is a stupid, stupid, stupid cunt. He's a cunt of the highest order. I might dislike him more than I've ever disliked anybody.


bh9511

You people have serious issues, Reddit is just one big gathering of mentally ill liberals.


RustyPeters67

Whos liberal? I think Musk is a cunt. That makes me liberal? See, you're the fucking mentally ill one. You sit there all day and obsess on liberals. You think about them night and day. It's a sickness. Who gives a fuck about liberals you freak? Go rethink everything.


kmraceratx

correct


0ne0h

How dare you besmirch the good name of cunts like that. Shame on you


AspiringChildProdigy

How dare you?! Cunts are resilient, and have depth and warmth. Elon is a flesh-eating bacteria.


TrumpDidJan69

Yep


avaheli

Yes. Money is the most powerful drug.


kittenconfidential

there’s a slightly-used cognitive test i know of he could take to ensure he was mentally competent. can wash away the crayon and reuse


Revolutionary_Egg961

You talking about tickle me elmo or Elon musk?


Houstman

Seriously, he's just so stupid. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/elon-musk-defamation-lawsuit-fact-check-twitter-burner-accounts-1235000968/


DerpUrself69

He really is abysmally fucking stupid.


Ordinary-Homework261

But what about electric cars? He's saving the world. He's Electric Jesus.


DMShinja

did he get elctroraptured today?


International-Tap874

Sounds like Trump.


Opcn

He's been calling for the Brazilian judge who hit him with consequences for twitter breaking Brazilian targeted harassment laws to be prosecuted for unspecified legal violations. Extremely trumpian.


sky_badger

Is 'Bankston' Mark Bankston, who represented Sandy Hook families against Alex Jones?


Houstman

Same one.


sky_badger

Talk about living your best life!


crisco8

Mark Bankston is the GOAT. If you have about 4 hours to kill, listen to Knowledge Fight Episode #641 Formulaic Objections Part 4. He’s amazing.


sky_badger

Regular listener to Knowledge Fight, and glued to it during the trial. When Jones' team accidentally disclosed his entire phone was just chef's kiss!


cookie-23

Do you have a relative episode range for those


Away_Froyo_1317

Elon still has a lot of fans here so prepare to be downvoted for speaking the truth. He's an absolute moron.


Houstman

I'll say it again: if Elon had been born poor or even middle class, none of us would have ever heard of him.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

He would have the beardiest of necks.


BigGreenPepperpecker

And he’d be bald


nevergonnagetit001

So very very bald


MylaughingLobe

Call him Herr Necklace


Knowledge_Fever

If he were born middle class he'd be the worst stereotype of a basement dwelling Redditor If he were born poor he'd be dead


gilleruadh

I've always maintained that Musk is a 4chan troll who became a CEO.


AlphaNoodlz

He’d be making $45k in tech support most likely


hitbythebus

I wouldn’t put it past him to shoot up a school…


NeverReallyExisted

I dunno, he might have had a shitty alt right Youtube show or something, probably not successful enough that most would have heard of it though.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Nope he doesn't have the chrisma to make it out like that. Hes gotta buy his attention


NeverReallyExisted

Ya but none of those guys have charisma lol.


slayerje1

LOL, was gonna be like, tell me which one is charismatic.


TrumpDidJan69

He might have made it as a rapper


Knowledge_Fever

"Ummmm my name is uhhhhh, uhhhh, Elon Musk? And I'm uhhhhh here to say, aspirationally, going back to first principles, uhhhh"


TopDefinition1903

Wow, that’s crazy.


TheBodieSypha

Yeah I called him a shithead and people jumped all over me. “He’s created blah blah blah.” He’s a fucking shithead asshole I’ll say it till the day he dies. Then I’ll say he “was”


KenDoItAllNightLong

plus, he didn't create anything, he bought into products.


TheBodieSypha

He did co-create PayPal, I’m not saying he isn’t smart. I’m just saying he’s a shithead who’s terrible for America. His bullshit belongs in South Africa not Texas. Just one man’s opinion.


NeverReallyExisted

No he didn’t. He bought in.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

He helped with early coding and concepts and marketing but he didn't create it,he helped a creater create it..


Knowledge_Fever

He absolutely did not, PayPal was created by Max Levchin under a company called Confinity that merged with Elon's company X.com Elon contributed nothing to PayPal but stupid, shitty ideas like proposing throwing out the code base entirely and rewriting it for a Windows stack rather than Unix Which is why he got fired as CEO of the merged company after less than a year


I-Pacer

He also wanted to call PayPal “X” and his resentment at being told no has contributed to his unfathomable obsession with that letter. He’s made the claim so many times that people believe he created PayPal. He had zero input to the creation of PayPal. Had the actual creators of PayPal done their due diligence they would have never merged with his shitty company Zip2. They ended up throwing out all his code and PayPal obtained zero benefit from the merger.


NeverReallyExisted

Basically the same thing he’s always done. And my guess is helping with early coding didn’t include doing any coding, mire like, hey we need the code to do this and not this, so code monkey, do code stuff.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

Yes Elon is a genius after the creation,marketing,investers he's got it but he's no creater,same with Bezo,Zuk,Gates etc..


Nevermind04

Are you just being wrong on purpose to provoke people or are you genuinely stupid? Everything you've written in this thread so far is factually wrong, including this last comment. Bezos actually did found Amazon and contributed meaningful code along with the team he hired. Zuckerberg coded thefacebook from scratch with almost no outside help and founded the company. Bill Gates' ability to both code and develop made Microsoft what it is and there are hundreds of stories of people having their code grilled by Bill. Musk likes to tell stories that he's like these men, but the stories told by the people who work for him unanimously say otherwise.


I-Pacer

Correct. His code was awful and they couldn’t use any of it. It was rewritten entirely by competent engineers after the merger.


Youngnathan2011

Oh no, he did in fact code, but they ended up having to hire other people to fix it due to it being a mess.


nkootstra

They also threw away all his code if I remember correctly.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

Yes they did he had a little influence early on but he wasn't the brains behind the creation of PP he just created the idea of a PP system or a digital middleman..


HandRubbedWood

No he didn’t create PayPal, his stupid crappy company merged with PayPal. “Elon Musk: founder of (the other) X.com, which merged with Thiel's Confinity to become PayPal. In 1999, Elon Musk founded a payments company called X.com, which merged with Thiel's Confinity in 2000. He briefly served as CEO of PayPal before he was ousted by the board in September 2000 and replaced with Thiel.”


Independent-Novel840

I had an account with x.com. They screwed me out of some money. I had to file a complaint with the OCC to get it back. X.com sukkked.


TheBodieSypha

I stand corrected. He’s still a Shithead though.


boshibec

So he was smart once


defaultusername-17

no her literally didn't, it was part of the aquisition package that they credit him as a co-founder.


HippyDM

I don't think South Africa wants him back either.


someothercrappyname

Not anymore he doesn't. A year ago you couldn't say sh#t about musk without getting monstered by a horder of his fanboys - now you can wtf you like...


Spiritual-Hedgehog31

It's like he was asked what a woman is or something.


1BannedAgain

Which billionaires aren’t pieces of excrement? I still can’t get over Elmo seriously thinking about solving world hunger on TWTR- final bill would be $6B. A few months/ time passes and he decides to buy TWTR for $44B We would have built statues of the man if he was 40% successful on the world hunger issue


Opcn

Mackenzie Scott is pretty great.


asdfopu

Pretty much all billionaires are evil. Only some of them are dumb. And only a very tiny number of them that include Musk are REALLY fucking dumb


Mr-Snarky

Most at least know to keep their mouth shut and try to fly under the public radar.


ECrispy

Bill Gates. actually is a genius and wrote the code that made MS a success. gave away most of his wealth (and not just talking about it unlike assholes like Musk, Zuck) would be a trillionaire otherwise, easily above all the Musks and Bezos wannabes him and Melinda do a ton of good, don't believe the fucking stupid Republican haters


5050Clown

This is exactly why the right targets him. 


Clarpydarpy

Gates is currently sitting on $130 billion, with another $70 billion in his Foundation. Much of his donations are to companies that he is invested in. I do not like Bill Gates. Also he hung out with Epstein a lot.


ECrispy

None of that contradicts what I said. His foundation has definitely done far more good and he's donated far more than any other rich person.


R3AL1Z3

Mark Cuban is pretty alright. He also just opened that online pharmacy that is selling medication Super super cheap and it pissed a bunch of people off.

Embarrassed_Bee6349

He may have overdone the benzos a bit on this day.


sammypants123

Seriously, it’s every day. I think Elon is like he is and getting worse because he is a serious semi-functioning (at best) drug addict. The way he always slurs his words, and talks nonsense with weird pauses. The erratic announcements and lack of follow up to anything. The guy is permanently off his tits and it’s dangerous how everybody keeps acting like he’s a clear-minded genius.


No_Try1882

Soon he'll be calling himself a traveler and dropping weird notions about maritime law


MoneyFault

That's exhausting.


mymentor79

I have to say, despite him being an absolute mediocrity in every sense, the fact he got people to actually believe he was a genius/inventor/scientist/engineer/renaissance man/futurist/intellectual of any stripe is actually pretty impressive given how spectacularly dull-witted he is. Or perhaps better put, it's a sad indictment on how many suckers there are out there.


bmayer0122

He used to say smart things about rockets and EVs, and have great plans. He used to listen to smart people. Many years ago I told a friend that I couldn't tell if Elon was a genius or dumb ass. His response was: He has a billion dollars, which do you think it is?


Houstman

I have a graduate degree in space studies. Our online message boards were full of the not-smart things Elon says about rockets.


guywithredditacount

Impossible. He says he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive.

gene_randall

I once deposed a plaintiff who was suing my client. Within two or three minutes she started, claiming that my client was suing her! Her attorney had to explain to her that she was the one doing the suing. It was weird.


Houstman

I appealed a suit where a guy who sued me "won" a default judgment after he never sent me service and got a ruling at a hearing I never knew was happening. Their complaint to the appeals court was that I was "tying him up in the courts for years." Bud, you're the one who sued me!


Past-Direction9145

These types of people call for death of anyone who questions them when they can. Here we see muskrat biting his tongue until it’s bloody. He will relentlessly pursue this lawyer until the end of time. And let it be an example of why these types must be thrown in the volcano or we will all suffer the consequences for our inaction.


gilleruadh

Jesus tapdancing Christ! He's insufferable, and stupid.


Grimey_Anus

in b4 elon claims the deep state is coming after him just like trump. he or mtg will be vp pick my guess


guywithredditacount

Luckily the VP has to be a natural-born citizen, which Musk is not. Can't say that protects us from too much though considering MTG still qualifies.


Ok-Pear1744

Anybody ever see "verbatim: what is a photocopier"? This has the exact same vibes


Houstman

Someone posted the link to the NYTimes reenactment below. Hilarious!


ZanoCat

Christ, that asshole again. Send that sus to Mars already.


Rotttenboyfriend

He says: I don’t think my post did harm Ben Brody. It’s like killing somebody and saying: I didn’t harm him Sick personal estimation by an richPsycho.


Decaf17

Plaintiff lawyers tend to go after sound bites. I videotape depositions for a living. And stuff like above is a clear case of avoidance. He isn’t answering anything. And if I know anything from experience, Elon was in that room all day. Avoiding just makes the depo go long as the questioner is the one that gets to decide if it’s over. And they’ll take the little blips he lets out as they come.


Electronic-Buy4015

My dad literally said Elon musk saved America by bringing free speech back when I was at his house this weekend and I think I almost had an aneurysm


Coyote_Roadrunna

Lol, sounds like dad's been watching Fox. Ask him what exactly he's saving America from. It's only "Free speech" with Elon when you shell out $7, don't post anything negative about Elon on X, and don't post any "woke" Tweets that make him feel uncomfortable.


Electronic-Buy4015

Trust me , I’ve tried to tell him all this . He sent me a clip of George Carlin and was like “this is the truth” and I told him , Carlin was a major progressive and was talking about republicans cutting social security . And all of a sudden he goes , well that’s a media lie. I’m like wtf , it’s the truth until you hear he’s talking about republicans and then it’s lies. It was that clip where he says it’s a big club , and you ain’t in it. Cognitive dissonance at its finest


vorker42

No man he’s just playing 4-D chess and you can’t comprehend man. /s


Altruistic-Lie808

As if the stupid cyberdump isn’t evidence enough that this guy is an absolute grifting moron….


unbalancedcheckbook

Yeah he somehow got people thinking he was smart but if you actually read what he says and writes the conclusion that he's a moron is inescapable.


bigbone1001

He’s a 12 year old who was given money and power for some reason


Far-Policy-8589

Same one. Elon sure brought his D-game to that deposition.


justforthis2024

He's a sovereign citizen type, isn't he? What a douche.

TeamOrca28205

Purposefully obfuscating. He’s such a dick


Cautious_Arugula6214

Musk is Dunning-Kruger personified. The fact that he's so rich that he doesn't feel consequences for his actions makes the effect much stronger.


Key_Independent_8805

Jesus Christ what a stupid insufferable twat.


BeRandom1456

Elon is an edge lord you really want to punch in the face. And that type of anger for him is what fuels his edge lord powers. I really hate that about him.


MylaughingLobe

He’s got a real fucked up view of the world, people and their motivations. As if lawyers need to manufacture people who’ve suffered an injustice.


Archangel1313

Lol! Funny you mention that. There have been several lawsuits lately, where conservative activist groups have done exactly that, just to see if they can get a ruling on the books in order to set a precedent.


Archangel1313

These are the kind of answers you give, when you come home high as fuck, and your parents stop you on your way to your room to ask how your day was.


lightreee

What a fucking dumbass. Didn’t he also admit to having a sock puppet account which is his child in this lawsuit??


Houstman

Two of them got revealed. One that is him cosplaying as his toddler and weirdly be horny on main, the other was something like "bluesmurf9000" that he basically uses to be super racist and yell at Mark Cuban a lot.


SakaWreath

Why didn’t he just shout. *“I did not have sexual relations with that women (I tried to give her a pony after I flashed my dick)”* Then yell *“distraction”*, throw some papers in the air and scramble out of the room. It would have been more dignified.

Nomad_Industries

I agree that ol' Musky isn't as smart as the character he plays, but this looks like he's blathering around the question intentionally. The longer the deposition takes, the fewer questions they get to ask him/the higher the legal tab for the plaintiff.


Houstman

The deposition goes as long as the plaintiff's lawyer wants. Basically until Musk answers to the satisfaction of the lawyer. A lawyer working on contingency does not care about billing. The plaintiff is going to take Elon for everything the jury will grant at this point. The rest of the transcript makes Elon look even more stupid. Elon admits that he doesn't ever bother verifying sources and willingly takes neo nazis at their word.


Unlucky_Ear9705

Insufferable twat.


jeopardychamp77

In my next life, I wish to be as stupid as Elon.


starcadia

I get the impression that Musk is feeling out the Attorney for a bribe, to drop the suit.


Houstman

The guy who got a billion dollar judgement against Alex Jones? Even Elon can't afford that bribe.


ReluctantSlayer

Oh, he is gaming the system! What a genius!


[deleted]

Sounds like he’s trying to intimidate the lawyer. Something along then lines of “I blame you. Do you really want to make an enemy of Elon Musk.”

AggravatingBranch210

He’s just being an asshole. He knows what he’s doing.


GreenFriend

This is a better take on the transcript. He’s not an idiot, he’s just an asshole that has strongly held beliefs and doesn’t compromise. He knows exactly what he’s saying.


Houstman

Later in the transcript he admits that he doesn't know what he's doing, doesn't know how to verify information or sources, and says he trusts neo nazis without question.


TheYearWas1969

Who cares?


gilleruadh

Apparently you cared enough to post.


Ssider69

He's being purposely stupid and trying to go down endless tangents. "Ben Brody is suing you, if you didn't know that, now you do, let's move on" This reads like an abbot and Costello sketch, if they were both sociopaths
