For people who do not want to wait for multiple Twitter spinners and multiple login and cookie popups, the content is:

" My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose. "

Why does Tesla not ban him from making promises in tweets? Is it because they help the stock price more than they hurt it?

The inference to draw is that the case was just?

Or that the man posts stuff whether it's true or not. Based on the history, maybe it's safer to ignore this and just judge the actions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Elon considers it just. Most people consider it just that a revolutionary technology owner is being held liable for their actions, even if they are nearly a decade afterwards.

Regulation for big corporations are more like suggestions these days, so this may even feel "fair enough" for Elon in retrospect.

Or the tweet was bullshit, and Tesla will do what every company does and determine whether it is better to settle or not based on the financial cost/benefit and not the truth or validity of the claim.

Or, that his commitment is at odds with his fiduciary duty.

I think lawyers have a different meaning for hard core. I mean, it sounds absurd to call your lawyers hard core.

Just to do what he is asking you would need a team like oj had but for each simultaneous case. He should start a law firm next.

Yep, it's the second case they settle in 2 months.

Sounds like they must have settled a just case.

Elon Musk says: "My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose. "

And yet Elon Musk filed harassing lawsuits against his critics Media Matters for America and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Musk's SLAPP suits are contrary to his purported love of free speech. They are manifestly unjust.
