I’ve run across this “standing” thing before in contexts where it seemed the last refuge of corrupt kritarchs. Normally people take for granted that they can’t find judicial remedy simply because they’re an individual hanging on by their fingernails as it is and cannot afford to fight it out in the courts.
But Musk?
Yeah this “statute of limitations”, apparently based on little more than an email that Altman sent Musk that the “jury” interpreted as obligating Musk to file lawsuit in response, is something only a Latin American judiciary would brazenly set forth as denying someone like Musk his day in court.
So while I recognize there is a two class legal system in one sense – those who can afford to mount a legal battle to recover damages vs those who cannot – there is another “two class” division here:
Culture of Group Integrity
vs
Culture of Individual Integrity
We don’t have many individuals like Musk with adequate resources and individuality to take on the Culture of Group Integrity.
I just wish Musk had enough individual integrity to recognize that replacing the 16th Amendment with a flat tax on liquidation value of net assets at the 30 year treasury rate would not only have made him vastly wealthier than he is and slashed the national debt in half, but would have turned the US into a factory cranking out tens of thousands of Elon Musks.
Time to hunt down Musk’s Brain Parasite(s) that are handicapping his individual integrity, starting with his intellectual integrity.
