Doesn't this guy regularly stream from a laptop in a desperate attempt to seem cool?
He has streamed path of exile 2 which is pc-only.
this argument from his lawyer is probably going to twist the English language beyond obscene
"What's a computer?"
Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. "That depends on your definition of 'have', 'used', 'a', and 'computer'."
God damnit I read this in his dumb voice
Why not use the Clinton defence "That depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is."
Which gets made fun of a lot but it's not as vapid as it sounds. He said "There's nothing going on" with Monica Lewinsky because, at the time he was asked, there wasn't. He was accused of lying, and that was his defense, because interpreting "is" in the typical sense of referring to the present tense made his statement accurate.
No its not, I play it on PS5.
He streamed himself playing a hardcore character that his minions sank hours into and proved he knows nothing about playing the game. So maybe it wasn't his laptop either.
Not just hours. Like 80 hour weeks to get to that rank.
It also died while he was live streaming nazi support to the AFD in Germany. So he was clearly not playing then
Extremely desperate
So are we not doing perjury anymore?
In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.
"cannot" or "does not"
Shan't not
He live streamed himself playing path of exile 2 from his private jet.
On an account that he paid someone to grind up
In this stream he kept failing on the tutorial boss, so I dont think it was his competency stand-in.
You'd think he'd pay someone better to play
He sat in front of a screen while his stunt double played.
Well we all knew he wasn't the one playing the path of exile
He was using Neuralink and is playing with 1% of his brain capacity at all times. Trust.
You can't tweet without a computer. It may be a mobile one, but even that is a computer. This is a stupid claim which could only fool an idiot.
So depending on the judge, we'll just see what happens...
Most people draw a distinction between a phone/tablet vs a desktop/laptop. It's not a distinction that can be easily defined, but most people instinctively categorize them as such.
But regardless, the issue at hand has nothing to do with that definition. The discovery process requires them to process any applicable devices that might have info, potentially including all of the above (and more). His team said they already did his phone, but that the laptop in question is not used by him. His opponents say that he has not complied with the requirements of discovery.
The judge will rule on whether that laptop is included in the discovery order.
He doesn't use computers in the same way he doesn't abuse ketamine.
Hold on now! He posted those clean drug tests from his computer the other day. Clearly he would not lie about his drug tests!
Psh, no way Musk could afford to fake a drug test. Fake urine costs like $30!
Disbar these lawyers. Disgraceful.
He doesn't use drugs either
So many comments from people who, if they read the article, would realize that the article already said that.
Time to plug into a WIRED subscription.
Woops, not reading this one. I'll go speculate in the comments with everybody else.
Sorry, I forgot this was a thing with Wired articles (I don't read regularly enough for it to usually be a problem) - I'll add an archive link to the OP
Fair enough. I just Reader Mode it.
Doesn't use his brain either.
That should be pretty easy to disprove with all of his path of exile streams.
He’s paying someone e else to do those. Except for the ones where he sucks.
I'd love to see him say under oath that he paid someone to play his game for him.
All Tesla cars have computers inside.
They clearly have no idea what a computer is.
So, Elon, you said that you totally legit play PoE 2, but you also said you didn't use computers. So which is it?
Which is it, Elon?
All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?
But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.
