In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.
Well we all knew he wasn't the one playing the path of exile
He was using Neuralink and is playing with 1% of his brain capacity at all times. Trust.
You can't tweet without a computer. It may be a mobile one, but even that is a computer. This is a stupid claim which could only fool an idiot.
So depending on the judge, we'll just see what happens...
Most people draw a distinction between a phone/tablet vs a desktop/laptop. It's not a distinction that can be easily defined, but most people instinctively categorize them as such.
But regardless, the issue at hand has nothing to do with that definition. The discovery process requires them to process any applicable devices that might have info, potentially including all of the above (and more). His team said they already did his phone, but that the laptop in question is not used by him. His opponents say that he has not complied with the requirements of discovery.
The judge will rule on whether that laptop is included in the discovery order.
A particularly fancy drainage pipe is a computer. I think its reasonable to make the distinction that a phone /= computer for the sake of normal definitions.
At which point does it become a computer? Raspberry is smaller than a phone. Steam deck feels like a phone, but runs linux. My old PDA that looks like a smartphone is definitely by definition a pocket computer. If I can make calls with my PC, is it by definition my phone?
How many batteries do you need to push into a power bank for it to be defined as a power station? I'll shut up now.
All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?
But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.
Meh, doesn’t use his brain either.
Does he even possess one?
I bet he's got at least one, in a jar or something.
hey leave us organ collectors out of this
So, Elon, you said that you totally legit play PoE 2, but you also said you didn't use computers. So which is it?
Which is it, Elon?
Doesn't use his brain either.
"cannot" or "does not"
Shan't not
He doesn't use drugs either
Disbar these lawyers. Disgraceful.
So many comments from people who, if they read the article, would realize that the article already said that.
Time to plug into a WIRED subscription.
Woops, not reading this one. I'll go speculate in the comments with everybody else.
Sorry, I forgot this was a thing with Wired articles (I don't read regularly enough for it to usually be a problem) - I'll add an archive link to the OP
Fair enough. I just Reader Mode it.

Doesn't this guy regularly stream from a laptop in a desperate attempt to seem cool?
He has streamed path of exile 2 which is pc-only.
this argument from his lawyer is probably going to twist the English language beyond obscene
"What's a computer?"
Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. "That depends on your definition of 'have', 'used', 'a', and 'computer'."

He live streamed himself playing path of exile 2 from his private jet.
You'd think he'd pay someone better to play
On an account that he paid someone to grind up
In this stream he kept failing on the tutorial boss, so I dont think it was his competency stand-in.

He doesn't use computers in the same way he doesn't abuse ketamine.
Hold on now! He posted those clean drug tests from his computer the other day. Clearly he would not lie about his drug tests!
Psh, no way Musk could afford to fake a drug test. Fake urine costs like $30!
That should be pretty easy to disprove with all of his path of exile streams.
He’s paying someone e else to do those. Except for the ones where he sucks.
I'd love to see him say under oath that he paid someone to play his game for him.
