Did you read the motion? Do you know whether it is appropriate or not? It's pretty common parlance to refer to this as "requesting that a case be tossed."
It's amusing (w/r/t to your naivety) that you assume the request is valid, but the reporting is flippant.
- Bjartr 4y agoI'm not not assuming the request is valid, that's for the judge to decide, I'm just saying the submission of such a request is not exceptional. Musk's lawyers, not musk himself, submitted a motion to dismiss that argues the case as filed doesn't have a sound legal basis. That's not newsworthy, that's a court case proceeding as normal.

It isn't exceptional no one said it was. What's also not exceptional is referring to a request to dismiss anything as "tossing". >Musk's lawyers, not musk himself, submitted a motion to dismiss that argues the case as filed doesn't have a sound legal basis. Not every case has a MTD filed. In fact, if you aren't going to win, a MTD is a total waste of money. Regardless, google "Ask judge to toss suit" and you will see hundreds of results across the political spectrum that are no different than the article here.
