I don't have a Twitter account and I don't want one. My brain doesn't work in 140 character thoughts and when they upgraded it to 280 characters, it still wasn't enough. Look, this post is already 239 characters and I've barely just begun!

Loved how Elon managed to trick the media on his way into the courthouse using a decoy car. Can't believe the TeslaChart guy flew down just to witness the trial, his level of obsession is kinda scary and I'm glad Elon surrounded himself with security today. Looks like Elon's team had a superior opening statement today over plaintiff, and having a good strong first impression on a 5 day trial is a good thing.
Deformation trial?

This trial support my belief that some lawyers don't care if they have a decent case or not. They just want a client they can bill. And will encourage anything profitable.

I image that sub could have caused some deformation if used as directed.
Mod: I routinely fix speeling and grammer errors in thread titles. I fixed this one but have left all the "deformation" discussions. I particularly like @KarenRei's one, since I remember performing that experiment in my industrial arts class in 1972. --ggr
I'll see you in court!
The Defamation Act 2013 (c 26) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which reformed English defamation law on issues of the right to freedom of spelling and the protection of reputation.

I like how this thread created specifically for the trial has nothing about the trial
On the other hand, the main thread has a lot less about the trial. So maybe it worked?I like how this thread created specifically for the trial has nothing about the trial

Yeah! If Elon's done testifying, then who's next in the hot seat, and about what are they testifying?
Read the twitter thread in the first post. Actually you have to look down for a tweet saying "this is the live blog..." and read all of that.

Sadly that link needs a Twitter login and I've managed to live my life without one of those.
Oh, I didn't realize you had to be able to log in to read it. I used to read tweets without an account.
Here is badly formatted, and you have to read in reverse order, from today by @RMac18, Ryan Mac, who is the journalist who published Elon's "Off the record" email. I don't think he's unbiased. He can only tweet during breaks, I think this is it for today.

Oddly Stanton never said this on the stand because Unsworth’s legal team never asked. A huge missed opportunity. Back in court now.

Remember that musk’s defense is heavily reliant on saying that Stanton asked him to build the tube, which is true. Stanton is just saying now the tube would have never worked based on video he saw. He hasn’t even seen the tube or met Musk in person.

He said that Musk showing up at the cave system with the tube, which clearly would not work, was “showboating.” He did not have nice things to say about the tube and wouldn’t even call it “a submarine.” He wouldn’t comment on the “pedo guy” statement.

Rick Stanton actually gave a quick interview to reporters after testifying. He was the main diver in communication with Musk who asked him to build the tube. He said that the pod was never going to work and was not built to specification. It was never going to work he said.

Y’all gonna love this. Defense brings up a march 2018 email from Birchall using the Jim brickhouse name and email when he was trying to buy a web domain for Musk. The domain Musk wanted to buy was http://justballs.com. Terms were never agreed and they never bought it.

The next witness up was cave diver and hero Rick Stanton. Tbh he didn’t do much for either side besides establish Unsworth as key to the rescue. Both sides got stonewalled though Spiro came off looking particularly owned after getting multiple tellings off by the judge.

Musk’s defense continues to frame the “pedo guy” insult as a tit for tat matching Unsworth’s insult. While Musk regrets tweeting it, he still maintains that it was never meant to be taken seriously or interpreted as an accusation of pedophilia.

On break. Spiro began his direct questioning by establishing that Musk was asked to be at the cave dive site by a diver named Rick Stanton. They want to establish that what Unsworth said about Musk being asked to leave was “a lie” as Musk said.

Courtroom is now open so everyone’s filing inside. We’re expected to pick up with Musk’s attorney Alex Spiro questioning his client on the stand then plaintiffs will get another opportunity to question. More updates at the break.

A member of Unsworth’s legal team, one of Lin Wood’s sons, comes in carrying a printer in a box. He says they broke their other one last night.

Unsworth in a pink shirt and pinker tie just entered the courthouse with the majority of his legal team about 3 mins after Musk.

Gee, per that first pic in RyanMac's blog - that shows Mr Musk and his 'boys' entering....there sure are some really weird shoes/socks/pantcuffs or something going on in that photo - esp. the two on the left. Take a look.
