Reminds me of a certain former POTUS who argued “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”…

If he can tweet all day he probably got a computer

Can't afford one in this economy.

Almost certainly "the company's" computers, along with every car he uses, house he stays in, etc

Doesn't he often ragequit PC Games? or is this one of those lawyer-words "he doesn't own the computer, it belongs to the company (that he owns)" ....

"That private jet belongs to the church" excuse

When my charging cable or my birthday card has a chip in it, yeah…kinda true.

I agree, I just like using Trump quotes out of context lol.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He owns spacex, tesla, the boring company, neural link, twitter and xai. He would own the property in said companies, right? So those companies have no computers in them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They clearly meant for personal use...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Again, he could walk into any of these companies and use anything for any reason. Bathroom, pens and paper, computers. Just because he doesn’t have one in his main residence doesn’t mean he does not have access to one for personal use.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Still almost certainly a lie.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Crazy how he can play all those PC games without a PC

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, but what if it's a PC on loan from one of the companies? That way when he breaks something, he's got an IT guy on call.

  • Elon's lawyers sincerely asking the judge probably. No really, is our client allowed to do that?
