Levine’s take is based on how Musk’s previous encounters with court orders have gone.
- throwaway09223 4y agoNo, it isn't. It's completely disconnected from reality. There isn't even one single court imposed fine which he hasn't paid.
- dragontamer 4y agoHow goes his court ordered Twitter sitter that's supposed to prevent Musk from Tweeting about material effects related to Tesla? That's what I thought. Musk just ignores the law and gets away with things on a regular basis.
- CamperBob2 4y agoThat was a stupid order that would never survive scrutiny under prior-restraint doctrine. Specific performance is something different, though... I can't think of any constitutional problems that might block enforcement of that.
- rurp 4y agoMusk and his lawyers agreed to the provision, and a court approved the deal. That is pretty strong evidence it's not an absurd provision.
- CamperBob2 4y agoHe has also violated it multiple times, with no sign of any consequences. That is pretty strong evidence that it was, at best, pointless.
- slotrans 4y agoBut he has agreed to SEC sanctions and then subsequently ignored them...
- xorbax 4y agoOne suspects Twitter may have more means and motivation to get what they're owed from Musk than a purposefully-emaciated regulatory body.
