@Techmeme@techhub.socialFiling: Elon Musk's lawyers say he "does not use a computer" after OpenAI accused Musk of not complying with the discovery process in his lawsuit against OpenAI (Wired)

@comex@mas.toWith Elon Musk news at a low ebb, here’s a blast from the past.
Remember last year when Elon Musk set up a $1m daily sweepstakes for swing state voters who signed a petition, creating a controversy over vote-buying?
Do you remember the part where the sweepstakes turned out to be a scam with handpicked winners, as freely admitted by his own lawyers?
Promptly leading to a class action for fraud?
Well, that class action has now survived a motion to dismiss.
