    The instant they enter discovery, he’s going to have to drop the suit like usual or hand over an awful lot of evidence of interacting with some extremely shitty racist ass hats. I’m excited for either outcome.

      Oh… I want discovery to go deep. Like all the way to the market manipulation that caused him to buy Twitter in the first place… didn’t he avoid the lawsuit and buy Twitter just to avoid discovery? Let’s discover all!

        Pretty much, yep. What did end up in discovery was an absolute embarrassment to anybody with a shred of dignity. Obviously Musk has none of that, so we’re here again.

      I don’t know, it sounds like he had his team analyze the log data for MediaMatter’s account with a fine-toothed comb and cross-referenced it with their ad system to figure out how their supposed manipulation went down. I know Elon comes across as rather impulsive and erratic, but don’t forget that this guy is literally the first person to shoot a rocket into space without the help of an entire government (and make it reusable, too), and he single-handedly made electric cars economically viable. So it’s certainly possible that he did his homework on this. But time will tell.
