gotta love America where not making as much money as you wanted is a crime
That's for people in the big club...
I don't think we are entitled to such rights as peasants
What crime would that be?
I...already described it? Elon didnt make as much money as he wanted and now there's a court case. A case where nothing was taken, only not given.
Ah. You're mistaken, then. This is a private lawsuit, not a criminal proceeding.
Law is public
A private lawsuit is one that is filed by a private party (individual, company, etc.). It is very different from a criminal trial.
it's still based in law. the government enforces rulings. Otherwise defendents would have no reason to comply.
It's still not a criminal case. And this isn't some kind of obscure technical point, the differences are substantial.
Would you be okay if i rephrased my post as "against the law" instead of "a crime"?
It would still be an inaccurate and unfair characterization of the USA, which is really what bothers me.
The hell is inaccurate about it now?
It implies that this sort of law is unique or peculiar to the USA, and it implies that the law is a bad thing.
Of course its a bad thing, musk isnt entitled to anyone else's money.
