He studied at the feet of Alex Jones when it comes to being cross-examined: "Deny everything even if they have it in writing. Especially if you gain nothing materially by doing so."

The best thing you can do for your case is to look like you don't know what's going on and/or are acting in bad faith

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Similarly, we can hope it results in the same outcome as the Alex Jones case, where he is fined more money than he is worth

It won't, but let me dream

The Hillary Clinton school of "they can'tc prosecute you if they can't show intent and disregard or redefine anything that would change that" except that only works with the prosecutors assistance

Um.

Reality is becoming a fucking sitcom.

Did plaintiff's counsel and opposing counsel agree that 1 = 1? Because if not then Elon was using non-euclidean logic and the other stipulations can't apply, checkmate.

[–] ValpoYAFF@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure even in non Euclidean systems 1 can equal 1. Does Euclid even apply to logic? Do you just mean any system which uses axioms?

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Mr Musk, I’ll be axiom the questions

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You are absolutely correct, I'm not aware of Euclid applying to logic at all. I just couldn't think of a more appropriate word for communicating that specific kind of nonsense. 'Non-axiomatic' could've been cooler.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

There are various non-classical logics, like dialethic systems, could allow for his statement to be correct by, for example, allowing both A and ~A. You could probably also find some way to prove using a system that limits the transitive property that the "Elon Musk" referred to in the documents is not the person speaking (or in any case cannot be proved to be the same, and therefore his statement cannot be proven false)
