Hope the Saudi’s treat a fraudster as harshly as a journalist
That’s a fine of $2 out of a total of $800.
I’d speed past cameras if I was running late, and that was the fine.

TrackinDaKrakenHe’ll pay it, then make it back by lunch.
He’s made billions more after and because of it so he doesn’t give a shit about a meaningless, billion dollar fine.
It’s an ego thing, he’ll hire a bunch of really expensive lawyers and drag it out as long as he can. This is what the rich do.
MinnesotaGoddamif you drag it out, a billion dollar fine becomes a million real fast

Why make trillions when we can make Billions?Dr Evil Hilarious scene
Spoiler alert: he won’t pay or admit any wrongdoing.
admit any wrongdoing.
So, the Trump school of leadership.
1984I think he can cut you a check for that in the court room.
God bless Willy Nelson…
Basically, and it’s not even like this is a corporation that has some level of money machine go burr, it’s straight up one man who did this and is responsible it should be cut and dry and he should be spending the next few decades in prison.
rogssonThis does not work because he will find a way to have 0 income (legally). I don’t know how we can make the billionaires pay, but we should tax the assets not the incomes.
A gun works pretty good, or maybe something like Logan’s run but instead of it being age based it’s wealth based.
It should be the amount he made from it + a fine. It’s how the serfs get handled.
That’s the problem with Mr. musketeer he doesn’t actually show income. That’s why we’re always complaining about how billionaires don’t pay income tax.
How much as he made from his Twitter deal? He made it illegally, confiscate it all.
I wasn’t invested in Twitter, but when I heard he was trying to get out of it I bought some stock. I knew he couldn’t get out of the deal because it doesn’t work like that and he’s a dumb ass.
My only regret was not buying more.
DominusOfMegadeusNext time please also let me know I should do that
Lose change amount
Ya for about 10% of that cost the lawyers will keep working hard to contest.
I don’t understand why these courts charge a set fine for stuff like this. This is clearly an extremely unique case. The man is 20% to being a trillionaire.
Or needs to be done is they need to charge a percentage of his profits. Say 20 to 30%?
… and the billionaires draft the laws.
The D QuuuuuillAntonin Scalea capped punative damages
wonderingwandererThey should repossess it and place it in the hands of a responsible steward…
That is the price of new phone for him compared to us…
Seth TaylorHe’ll have it back in a month…
Cool, so when this reaches Appeals court (which is where it’s absolutely going next because they’ll definitely appeal it), that 2.1B$ fine will get knocked down to 10$ and a blowjob (for Elon).
But hey, the Washington Post or whatever can get a nice little headline out of it where they pretend billionaires face any sort of punishment in this Capitalist hellscape for 5 seconds so that’s nice.
Drop in a bucket. He should be fined of the money he paid to buy Twitter.
