Just, just a terrible terrible title
Framed to make it look like a corrupt judge, when its just the totally standard seizing of assets due to a fine that hasnt been paid.
Happens to normal civilians all the time so why not to companies?
I was seriously trying to figure out why this guy was paying the fines
It's probably a translation error from Portuguese to English
Or a translation error from based AF to AP corporate bootlicking.
3.3m / 182b = 0.0018% of Elon Musk's wealth.
What percentage of your wealth do you lose if you get caught driving 5mph over the speed limit?
This shit needs to be proportional to both severity of the crime and total wealth.
My most recent speeding ticket cost me 14% of my bank account and about a week later resulted in me putting groceries on a credit card.
I agree with you.
Musk isn't hurt by the amount of money he's fined, but it annoys him terribly that he can't control the situation and that his usual tools for getting his way are useless. It is a pebble in his boot that he can't bluster, cajole, or bribe his way out of the problem like usual.
Separate entities that decided to be in contempt of court over the same issue. That sort of shit justifies piercing the corporate veil. Starlink backtracked after they realized the absolute fuck up they performed, but that judge viewed it as too little, too late.
While they are separate entities, its not like musk treats them as such when it benefits him. he redirected a ton of GPUs from tesla to twitter, for example
Yep! He's moved employees between the two companies too.
Isn't this one of the things SBF got charged/arrested for, mixing assets from different companies.
This was the only they were gonna get paid. Musk couldn't even be bothered to pay the agreed lease on his own headquarters. And that was before he jammed his head up Trump's asshole so he's probably even more contemptuous about paying his dues now.
Brazil doing based stuff
I will make my own Brazil, with hate speech and rockets 😢
Should have withdrawn $2,299,999 just so Musk would have to pay that last dollar himself.
