Perhaps it's just a general sense of disillusionment, but I've come to see that "court orders X" and "X happens" are entirely orthogonal. I will be personally surprised if Musk pays a single cent.
- smaudet 4y agoDepends I guess on how 007 you think the world operates (reference to James Bond) - X will happen, but maybe 2-10 years after various counter-suits. Case studies are what has happened e.g. with Microsoft, other large businesses - long legal battles are fought, nothing happens while things are in limbo. When the rubber finally hits the road, things happen fairly quickly, but until then it does look a bit like "nothing happens". This is of course, a problem, perhaps one that needs innovating around.
