Because I don't think you fully grasp just how much money a single billion dollars is, much less dozens or hundreds of billions. They have legions of people on payroll whose sole job is to make problems go away
They have limitless piles of money with which to tank anything plebs or businesses can throw at them in a courtroom.
You could fundraise and every single person in America could donate $10 and you'd still only have $3.4B. Thiel's estimated at 24ish billion. Also consider that at least 1/3 of Americans are actively sinking for this dystopian hellscape.
There is nothing anyone is going to be able to do in a courtroom against billionaires.
