I would 100x the fucking fine just for trying that argument if I was the judge.
I’m not sure about Australia’s laws, but in the US, that could result in recusal of the judge on the grounds of bias.
that's not really a problem if the judge simply changes their name
"I'm Judge jaXon now!"
Guys, I found how you can get rid of all your debt.
Thing is, that's exactly how you do it as a capitalist.
Compartmentalise your businesses and ensure they're registered so as to never come after your personal assets should they go bust.
Then, if the business fails and goes bust, shut it down, sack everyone, and a week later reopen in the same place with a slightly different name and rehire most of the same staff under the new company.
The new company is not in any way legally connected to the old one, and the one one's debts are to be handled whatever administration firm took all that over, etc.
I've seen it happen first hand here in the UK, good example of why capitalists are scumbags that are above our laws.
This reads like a sovcit defense.
Wheelahan summarized X's argument as saying that "X Corp was not obliged to prepare any report in Twitter Inc’s place, as X Corp was not the same person as the provider to whom the notice was issued."
Anyway, start charging interest. A lot. Backdated to October of last year.
"same person" eugh
I expect no less from this child
It's like the game you play with a baby where you put your hands over your face to hide.
I wish companies and people were held to the standards of their own arguments.
For example because X claimed they don't owe anything because they changed their name from Twitter, any business dealing with X would legally be allowed to use the same argument.
The fine was not written in red ink diagonally across the postage stamp. No countsy.
-Elon Musk
Wait Elon Musk is using the soviet strategy
I thought he disliked the "woke communists"
Omw to max out credit cards and then change my name
Brilliant!
I hope the judge chuckles for a moment then triples what he owes.
lol he really went for the sovcit strats. fucking idiot.
He's still going to deadname his daughter
Came here to say this. Dude routinely misgenders and deadnames his daughter and claims that she died from “the woke mind virus”, then he turns around and tries to pull this shit.
I'm not sure why the famed Family Circus defense didn't work...
I don't get it? I searched defense on that page and got nothing.
Is it about being absurd?
Were you really under the impression that I was serious about it being a famed legal defense? Read the "Gremlins" section I linked to.
No I absolutely expected it to be sarcasm.
I read the part, and that's quite funny and fitting.
So i committed a crime, i didn't know if i change my name i could get out of it
does this mean the twitter brand is up for grabs? anyone can start up a new website at twitter dot com? musk's letting go of it completely?
Had to double take to confirm it didn't say they argued Australia doesn't exist
Close. It's New Zealand that doesn't exist. I checked the map.
That fucking thumbnail photo 🤣
That's ripe meme material.
I'm thinking Musk may be in a "Brewster's Millions" situation, in which he needs to spend every penny he has and end up with absolutely no assets in order to win an even larger fortune.
If we're really, really lucky, someone scammed him to think that he'd win a fortune, and after he's lost everything he'll discover there's no fortune.
You still have the bowl, Milhouse.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
