Welcome to The Verge Cast, the flagship podcast of unfair questions. We ask them. We steadfastly refuse to answer them. This is what we do here. I'm your friend, David Pierce. Neil Epsom's here. You know, I've been deposed like two or three times in the course of running The Verge. Have you really? I've never even thought about that. There's a very funny transcript of me being deposed. For what? The important one was... There was a game streaming service that Sean had called defunct, and they sued us saying that they were not defunct.
Don't put it in the newspaper that we're defunct. And it's a long story that ends with the judge in Delaware realized that some obscure law of republication did not have enough precedent, so they allowed the case to go forward so that they could say that us linking to an old story in which we had called defunct the company defunct, did not constitute a republication that would then bring it into the statute of limitations. Oh, wow. This took six years. Goodness. It's true that I've been deposed and it's, you know, because lawyers are like, just say you don't remember. So it's just an hour of being like, I don't recall.
Yeah.
Which I really, this is, this is where like lawyer Nilay and journalist Nilay run into each other in my favorite way. Like you, you, you love to gossip. You love to share information that you know, you like to be a person who knows things and that you just have to sit there and you're like, I know the correct lawyerly advice is to sit here and say, I can't recall. You just don't remember. Whatever happened in the past has escaped your memory. So long ago. Who's to say?
Who knows?
That's very good. So we do have a bunch of legal stuff to talk about today. The big news of this week, obviously, is Elon Musk versus OpenAI. We talked about kind of the basics of this trial and the run up to it with Liz Lopato on Tuesday. Go listen to that if you haven't yet. We got some unexpectedly spicy early testimony from Elon Musk. He's been on the stand. He's on the stand as we speak. Yeah, he is. He doesn't like it. He's not. He doesn't like being the main character of the lawsuit that he filed and insistently drove to trial. Yeah. You would think this would be the thing that he wanted the whole time. Like, let's just get into this.
