Elon Musk Moves for Mistrial In Twitter Securities Lawsuit

-_-

They can’t find jurors, everyone hates Leon.

"Miss Trial" is the name of one of the underage, scantily-clad girls that he asks Grok to generate for him.

This boils down to "people don't like my client, so there has to be a mistrial".

Make the whole hate you and never face trial. Judges hate this one trick!

It is a weird modern phenomena now that it may no longer be possible to find representative groups of people who can impartialy judge someone like Musk. He's a hard guy not to have an opinion on, and anyone who doesn't know him is likely a little secluded and not exactly representative if you stuff a jury full of them. What now?

Maybe have Grok choose the jurors? /s What could go wrong?

I’ve never thought of this but it’s a very good point. You either get super fans or humans that can think. Either way it’s biased.

“Well your honor. Everyone wants my client in jail so he can’t go to jail”

His journey is so strange. He started out as loved by some, respected by most and hated by a few. He moved to generally disliked and even the people that still like him still find him odd and weird

Only explanation he is a product of his upbringing. Born & raised in South Africa, entitled rich kid.

It would choose Nazis, which would be a very sympathetic jury.

You have to love the contrast between Elon posting on Twitter and Elon in the court room. On Twitter he'll claim the majority of people agree with him about everything and anyone who doesn't is some paid ActBlue operative or something. He'll also make huge claims as an absolute unarguable fact that have no basis like this about bots on Twitter that'll get him into trouble then turn around and say it can't possibly damage a company because no one actually believes what he says and if they do its their own fault. Somehow Tesla's captured board of directors will insist the company can't run without his stewardship, steady hand and technical brilliance but in court well he's just a guy who really has no basis for anything he says and anyone who somehow got the impression that he does is so stupid that you can't even consider them a reasonable person.

Fortunately war crimes trials typically don't use a jury

Seems accurate.

No, he was always despised by those that knew his history. Only the sheep fell for his PR blitz.

Quick give up

All a strategy from that Nazi bullshit

I want Elon to suffer

I'm surprised Elon hasn't gone down the sovereign citizen route as it would be perfectly up his street.

I read it as Mistrial thinking it was a name pronounced Miss-tree-al!

So basically Musk can now get away with any scam, fraud or other crime because he's so universally hated.

If the defence can’t find an acceptable jury, can’t they request a bench trial, where the judge decides the verdict? Edit: looked it up, both parties have to agree to a bench trial…
