Five years with no Elon Musk and no JK Rowling 😊
@LilahTovMoon All I want for christmas~
@LilahTovMoon our country effectively has separate justice systems for people with more than $10M. But I'm larping that fantasy anyway because the water feels good. πŸ˜…

@LilahTovMoon

The only small little problem is that it's extremely difficult to imprison billionaires, so I'm not holding my breath.

@LilahTovMoon

Won't happen but it's nice to think about. Fuck Musk, fuck Rowling.

@darwinwoodka yeah I kinda feel like there'd be a significant jurisdiction issue about extraditing Musk specifically

@tomoyo @darwinwoodka Yea, but they could make it so that he could never go to Europe - and he'd have to be careful traveling anywhere outside the United States given that any country he enters could decide to extradite him.

I get that isn't much of a punishment given that so many people don't have the funds to travel, but it would probably drive him crazy knowing that he couldn't safely go on vacations outside the US.

@LilahTovMoon @tomoyo @darwinwoodka let's not forget, TFG is mixed up in this unholy stew too. He's the one I really hope they get. He thinks he's really got it all sewn up with SCOTUS bought and paid for... and then a French judge rains holy hell down on his toupΓ©ed tΓͺte... and then maybe sends him someplace like Corsica...
@stonebear I don't see how anything France decides would affect him; expect that sort of extradition case would get smacked down in lower courts and denied appeal, even by judges that hate him

@tomoyo Depends on how fast the wheels of justice turn. If the French judge takes his time and hands down the decision next summer, Harris' new AG could say "looks legit to me" and hand the guy over.

If he's not already serving a stretch in Sing-Sing....

@stonebear well, from a probabilistic-assessment perspective, i'll entertain this as a plausible course of events once ken white and josh barro give the story the time of day on their podcast at serioustrouble dot show, but probably not before
@LilahTovMoon I mean that sounds nice but I kinda feel like this is similar to when a journalist adds up a bunch of numbers from an indictment and says "zomg he faces a thousand years in prison"

@aburka @LilahTovMoon

In fact, as a French jurist (not lawyer):
And she sue in France because she was in France at the moment of the bullying. And maybe (idk) the French law is the most advantageous in this situation.

The value announced here are the maximal possible sentence for the infraction.

They will not get the maximum sentence, BUT they may be condemned (it's France, so forget your untouchable freedom of speech here) on this note:
Joro is more in danger than Musk because she is British: we have rules between France and UK for this kind of infraction ( there is less between France and US).

And the money indicated is JUST the sentence part: the civil responsibility is pretty much illimited: as long as the defendant can proove any pain or suffering and can sustain the value of the damage.
She can ask a f''''ing lot if she wants .

@aburka @LilahTovMoon I don't think so, most European countries don't add prison sentences like America but you get the highest one you're convicted for.
@LilahTovMoon The fines ought to be much higher. And go to orgs that support trans and intersex BIPoC
@LilahTovMoon don't threaten me with a damn good time
@LilahTovMoon That seems too good to be true, but yay!
@LilahTovMoon Oh the schadenfreude is so sweet πŸ₯Ή

@LilahTovMoon But the fines should be multiplied by a factor that makes them feel it in their pocket.
