He hired the ones that used to work for trump. You know the ones that forgot to request a jury trial.

It's on purpose. Just another slimy weird ass attempt to slow things down and muck up the system.

Eh, I subscribe to the belief that Lonnie is a complete piece of shit. But I also think the way he runs his companies is completely incompetent. I could believe they just don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Lawyer: "You have to transfer the money into a Brasillian courts bank account."

Elon whispering: "How many millions are a brazillion?"
