| You do not need to assume, here is Elon Musk talking about his lawsuit philosophy: "My commitment: - We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win. - We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose."[1] [1] https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1527749734668050433 |

| It's his idea of just though, so it could mean anything. |

| How much weight do you think the words of a notoriously vindictive self-aggrandizing liar should carry? |
| |
| ▲ | Veserv 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Er, you should reread the quote: "We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us". He just settled. That means it must have been a just case. That or he is a hypocritical self-aggrandizing liar when he claims the Fremont factory is not abhorrently and pervasively racist. | | |
| ▲ | netsharc 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | How charitable of an interpretation. It has the air of "I only have consensual sex. We had sex, therefore it must have been consensual"... But did he instruct them before to seek victory? If he did, then your set of tautologies just contradicted themselves... | | |
| ▲ | Veserv 2 days ago | parent [-] | | If he sought victory, then he believed it was a just case and would not settle. If he settled, then he believed it was a unjust case and would not fight. If such a person settles and fights then they are acting in two contradictory ways which is called hypocrisy. Given that they clearly settled we must either believe they are acting consistently and thus believe the case to be just. Or they both settled and fought (or believe the case to be unjust) which means they are acting inconsistently and are thus hypocrites. That concludes my lesson in elementary logic. | | |
| ▲ | netsharc a day ago | parent [-] | | I gotta admit, in your grandparent post I responded after reading only your first paragraph, having the "Or"-clause in a separate paragraph made it sound like you were using logic to be very charitable. I guess after this lesson of logic I need to take a lesson in proper reading, and you perhaps need one for writing. |

| ▲ | giraffe_lady a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | I mean I just don't think it says anything either way. He spews all kinds of shit on twitter and habitually lies about his intentions and motivations. I'm not gonna take him seriously this one time because it aligns with my own view of his racist malfeasance. |
