xcelero, don't bother. There are far too many folks here who blindly follow Martin to have an intelligent (and unbiased) discussion. I gave it up ages ago.

Arnold, what are the next steps in the process? I did notice the following at the end of ruling:
Yet Musk made little of these accusations and wasn’t pleased with the timing of the legal difficulties.
“Just as we’re emerging from the darkness and things are going really well, you get distracted with this unbelievable lawsuit,” he said. “It’s clearly a distraction for me and some other members of the team.”

I think this should put to bed the "misrepresented connection to Stanford" part of the Complaint. I said somewhere earlier that dropping out two days into the quarter is the same as never enrolling. All that really matters is that he was accepted. Shouldn't confuse MatSci with Physics, though.The University Registrar’s Office maintained that the only record they have of Musk is in the form of an applicant record. In a letter sent last month to Musk, Director of Graduate Admission Judith Haccou confirmed that Musk was in fact accepted into a graduate program in materials science & engineering in 1995, but did not enroll with the University and therefore never received an official certification document.
Peretz has been handling a number of lawsuits against Tesla. Perhaps he's just become the go-to-guy.
What this article tells me, between the lines, is that Eberhard couldn't get a more established, successful attorney to represent him in this case.
Eberhard claimed Musk never officially enrolled at Stanford, citing this claim as an example of the current CEO’s dishonesty and history of misrepresentation. {claim}"In several national publications, Musk had allegedly misrepresented his affiliation with Stanford University, claiming to have ‘dropped out’ of a Ph.D. program at that university when in fact he was never enrolled at Stanford,” the lawsuit stated.
Furthermore, in a confusing turn of events, he [Musk]went on to corroborate Eberhard’s accusations, stating that he indeed never enrolled at any Stanford graduate program.

I don't think so. There isn't really that much to it.Have I oversimplified the "Stanford" part of this argument?
This is just poor writing/understanding by a Stanford undergrad. There's no "confusing turn of events." Elon didn't really say he enrolled; he deferred enrollment after the quarter had started. Of course he never actually went back to enroll so in a way he quit or "dropped out". Again, all that really matters is that he got accepted, which the article confirms.Furthermore, in a confusing turn of events, he [Musk]went on to corroborate Eberhard’s accusations, stating that he indeed never enrolled at any Stanford graduate program.

Former CEO Martin Eberhard voluntarily requested that the suit be dropped on Aug. 7, according to his lawyer, Yosef Peretz.
Peretz declined to comment further on Tuesday, other than to say that more may become public about the case late in September.
Looks like erstwhile and embittered Tesla CEO Martin Eberhard’s legal feud with Tesla had about as much life as one of those battery powered cars they’re making. The case has been voluntarily dismissed — has there been a settlement?
Eberhard had sued Tesla in May for defamation for publicly blaming Eberhard for production delays and whole laundry list of wrongdeeds from not paying his severance when he was ousted two years ago to crashing his Tesla Roadster. Eberhard and his new-kid-on-the-block, unafraid-of-risky-cases lawyer Yosef Peretz beat back the Tesla’s anti-SLAPP motion, the first hurdle for any defamation case. Although they did lose in their effort to have Eberhard declared a founder. And then on Aug. 7, the case was voluntarily dismissed. No one will comment: Peretz, Tesla or Tesla’s lawyers at Wilson Sonsini. But usually when a case is dismissed like this it means that there’s a settlement or at least a settlement in the works. We will keep you posted with the swiftness of a Tesla Roadster.
