I hope he appeals. Not cheering for Musk, cheering for the fight.

It would just burn more cash unless he can somehow go back in time and change the facts.

		If anyone can afford burning cash for his ego it's the richest man in the world with the biggest ego in the world.

		Yes, and more burnt cash (and hopefully emotional energy) would be an acceptable outcome

Cross examination is one of the vanishingly few times you can see billionaires and executives act like human beings instead of sentient PR scripts.

There's nothing to appeal. Statute of limitations is... just that.

IANAL but civil statute of limitations is based on when the prosecuting party reasonably discovered they were wronged and had legal recourse, not when the event happened. It is entirely possible to debate when that was in this case.

For criminal cases at least, the statue of limitations is not set in stone. But probably for civil, its much more cut and dry.

		Criminal law actually has very specific statutes of limitation as well, depending on the crime.
