Jason Lemkin

And a kind of hung jury is fine for the prevailing wisdom.

Unless Elon prevails, he doesn't get it.

So I think way down the line, two, three years from now, at the end of a long and bloody trial, the probability is he doesn't win the case.

But Jason, you're right.

He's already won the case.

If what he wants to do is get kind of psychic revenge, this is going to be the best tool.

This is like Peter Thiel's spend on Gawker.

Sometimes a billionaire just wants to spend a couple hundred million bucks in this case to grind the other guy and make him sorry.

If someone sequestered, deported my diary for the last 10 years, and if you keep notes on days when you're feeling like shit, you know, you're like, hmm, that's not great.

That's the problem with litigation.

That's the problem with convoluted structures.

You end up in litigation.

That's why keeping it simple was step one.

And once you didn't keep it simple, trying to keep everyone in the tent.

When you don't do that, you end up being sued by the richest person on the planet who's angry and mad at you.

It's a tough place to be.

Don't settle at five, settle at 100.

I don't have stock anyway.

This is true.

Well, sort of.
