So, let me get this straight: Musk is arguing that he should be awarded some of the supposed 'ill gotten gains' on the basis that they're 'ill gotten gains' because nobody should have earned them to begin with?
You know what, I don't even care. Just let them fight. So long as one of those assholes lose, the rest of us win.

I'm afraid that we lose, regardless of which of the billionaires wins.
Yeah, arguably we have been for quite some time. We should probably do something about that.
More concerningly is this going to trial in the US’ current governmental “degraded” (to put it lightly) condition. NFPs get a bunch of concessions and benefits to being such. It’s not unheard of for NFPs to have for profits subsidiaries but I feel like letting them bootstrap into FP, often on the taxpayers/states dime should be, legally speaking, a no no.
It should generate a retroactive instant tax bill.
