contract law.

I think the lead lawyer for Musk is an IP lawyer, which is definitely not the same thing.

That kind of tells you what you need to know.

He's not hiring the authorities in this kind of law.

He's hiring whoever will take the case.

I mean, again, if it were not Elon Musk, it wouldn't have gone.

Yeah, basically, because the questions that the jury is being asked to decide are questions of fact, and so they're not really things that the judge can rule on.

The judge rules on law.

So, you know, I would argue, having looked at what evidence has already been released, this is a pretty clear cut case and it's like open eyes to lose.

Now, maybe there's going to be some like surprise legal maneuver that comes out and like we're all blown away, you know, legal legal drama style.

But that's that's that mostly doesn't happen.

So the fact that it is a question of facts rather than a question of law is the reason we're in front of a jury.

And it's just because the facts are so strongly lined up against Musk that everybody's surprised that we're going forward because most lawyers would be like, this is a waste of my time.

Well, my personal favorite, which I'm just going to start with, is from a legal filing.

It's not going to make it into the case because in the filing, Musk's lawyers were arguing successfully, as it turns out, to get it excluded.

But it's a line of questioning in his deposition from OpenAI's lawyers who are asking him, does he know what rhinocat is?

Does he know what rhinocatamine is?

Did he do rhinocatamine at Burning Man in 2017?

It's it.

This is, you know, and like they actually they can ask about Burning Man, by the way, because that is a period of time that is relevant to this case.
