The claim appeared in a court filing related to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. The Tesla and xAI owner has posted about his laptop numerous times in the past year.

[...] However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer. [...]

They clearly have no idea what a computer is.

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!

He live streamed himself playing path of exile 2 from his private jet.

Except in the cases that might evidence the crimes. Then it's no computer!

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That should be pretty easy to disprove with all of his path of exile streams.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He’s paying someone e else to do those. Except for the ones where he sucks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I would love for him to admit that in court to try and prove he doesn't use a computer.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'd love to see him say under oath that he paid someone to play his game for him.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

And someone in the courthouse trolling him for it.

Doesn't this guy regularly stream from a laptop in a desperate attempt to seem cool?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Only Elon Musk could get cyberbullied on a wireless Abacus playing ARPGs in the sky.

Maybe he used a public library PC?

He has streamed path of exile 2 which is pc-only.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

No its not, I play it on PS5.

this argument from his lawyer is probably going to twist the English language beyond obscene

But I thought that everythings computer?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. "That depends on your definition of 'have', 'used', 'a', and 'computer'."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

God damnit I read this in his dumb voice
