@dave I don't think this trial is going to end well for constitutional rights

Why do you think this trial has any bearing on constitutional rights? It's about whether Musk is allowed to walk away from the Twitter deal or not.

@dave Tesla bigwigs seems fair game but subpoenas for private communication between friends seems like overkill

Not with $44 billion on the line it isn't. This is an insane amount of money, Musk's embarrassment at having his personal communications gone through is of limited consequence given what's at stake.

@dave not a lawyer, just don't see why anyone has a right to see that/judge can demand it unless it's a criminal proceeding

That's just how lawsuits work. If there's relevant evidence out there, the courts are usually allowed to demand it. A few precedential cases:

@dave

case one, destroyed all evidence, some of which may have been relevant

case two, company directors and officers

case three, criminal case and the text messages were sent to a defendant

comes down to what the court says I guess, but common sense suggests that private communication between friends has little bearing on what parties have agreed to in a contract

Yep, and it's apparently a district known for resolving cases fast, and if I remember correctly this judge has forced a corporation to complete a merger in a prior lawsuit.

That plus the strong specific performance clause in the offer contract makes me think there's a high likelihood that Musk will be ordered to buy at his original offer price.
@Hi @11112011 @dave @skells

slaves of causality arguing their free will rights is romantic.
Would this be awesome if it became a referendum on shit-ass fake math and sampling methods?

@polarisera @11112011 @dave this would be incredible and I would watch that shit

Whether 5% is the true number of bots or not is mostly irrelevant to this case. It would only matter if Musk could prove that they *knew* the numbers were way off.
I promise you there are meeting notes, texts and emails on how fucking shitty their sampling methods are.
And I promise to prove to you just how fucking ass-licking the cowardly public is. But thanks to time-delinted searches, we can prove that at one time, all the "smart" people knew their were bots on twitter (Muh Russia!!!!), and now that evil Elon has accused them of it, all the stories will be magically about how there are not bots. And all the "smart" people will say there are no bots on twitter. Magical moronism.

@11112011 @dave @polarisera goddamn I love not giving a shit about social media

@dave @polarisera @11112011 @skells

It was never disclosed, and you know why? because you hadn't thought of it, Dave.
You simply gave it a thought of how intelligence can solve the equation AFTER Elon's feeding the world hunger tax deduct discussions.
@dave @11112011 @polarisera @skells

also, the economic discussions became relevant after the math checked out, but the chain and math, after food for thought.

@11112011 @dave @polarisera @skells as a proven concept, the ocean of water marked logs should make a solid foundation.
Remember all the wokentards who said "Muh Russia!" will suddenly do an about face and declare NO BOTS!!! because Elon is basically hitler.

@polarisera @dave @skells i like how the conservatards pray a lot ide like to point the pope put a leas on the opus dei recently that 1 of the reasons u have a lotta crying to do
Why would I cry, the Age of the Shit-gurgling Moron is coming to its natural end.

@dave @11112011 given past form he probably has it coming, whether such an outcome is just, who knows
