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
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.
Extremely desperate
Maybe he used a public library PC?
(/s, obviously)
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.
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.
Then his stunt double sucks at the game too.
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!
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.
So are we not doing perjury anymore?
In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.
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?
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.
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.
Meh, doesn’t use his brain either.
Does he even possess one?
"cannot" or "does not"
He doesn't use drugs either
A liar's lying lawyers lying? Inconceivable!
The lawyers are taking a big risk to their licenses for lying to the court.
Doesn't use his brain either.
Didnt he have a big thing about getting bigger monitors in the white house so he could game?
They clearly have no idea what a computer is.
You mean the amount of bribery makes them have "no active memory" of Elon using a computer
All Tesla cars have computers inside.
"It's all computer"
Disbar these lawyers. Disgraceful.
A phone is a computer
This just struck me, this is the key. They can argue that a phone is traditionally thought of as a phone. Even though technically it’s a computer, in common parlance it is called a phone. Then by extension, he wasn’t streaming on a computer, he was streaming on a laptop. So they will argue a computer is desktop.
It's all computer.
Maybe he means like one of those women at NASA.
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.
