The claim appeared in a court filing related to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. The Tesla and xAI owner has posted about his laptop numerous times in the past year.
[…] However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer. […]

Doesn’t use his brain either.
A liar’s lying lawyers lying? Inconceivable!
The lawyers are taking a big risk to their licenses for lying to the court.
A phone is a computer
This just struck me, this is the key. They can argue that a phone is traditionally thought of as a phone. Even though technically it’s a computer, in common parlance it is called a phone. Then by extension, he wasn’t streaming on a computer, he was streaming on a laptop. So they will argue a computer is desktop.
“cannot” or “does not”
Shan’t not
Doesn’t this guy regularly stream from a laptop in a desperate attempt to seem cool?
He has streamed path of exile 2 which is pc-only.
this argument from his lawyer is probably going to twist the English language beyond obscene
“What’s a computer?”
But I thought that everythings computer?
Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. “That depends on your definition of ‘have’, ‘used’, ‘a’, and ‘computer’.”
Why not use the Clinton defence “That depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.”
Which gets made fun of a lot but it’s not as vapid as it sounds. He said “There’s nothing going on” with Monica Lewinsky because, at the time he was asked, there wasn’t. He was accused of lying, and that was his defense, because interpreting “is” in the typical sense of referring to the present tense made his statement accurate.
God damnit I read this in his dumb voice
I was thinking it would be more about “use.”
He streamed himself playing a hardcore character that his minions sank hours into and proved he knows nothing about the playing the game. So maybe it wasn’t his laptop either.
Not just hours. Like 80 hour weeks to get to that rank.
It also died while he was live streaming nazi support to the AFD in Germany. So he was clearly not playing then
No its not, I play it on PS5.
Extremely desperate
Only Elon Musk could get cyberbullied on a wireless Abacus playing ARPGs in the sky.
So many comments from people who, if they read the article, would realize that the article already said that.
Time to plug into a WIRED subscription.
Woops, not reading this one. I’ll go speculate in the comments with everybody else.
Sorry, I forgot this was a thing with Wired articles (I don’t read regularly enough for it to usually be a problem) - I’ll add an archive link to the OP
Fair enough. I just Reader Mode it.
So, Elon, you said that you totally legit play PoE 2, but you also said you didn’t use computers. So which is it?
Which is it, Elon?
Meh, doesn’t use his brain either.
Does he even possess one?
I bet he’s got at least one, in a jar or something.
hey leave us organ collectors out of this
That should be pretty easy to disprove with all of his path of exile streams.
Which is exactly what the other side pointed out
He’s paying someone e else to do those. Except for the ones where he sucks.
I would love for him to admit that in court to try and prove he doesn’t use a computer.
I’d love to see him say under oath that he paid someone to play his game for him.
And someone in the courthouse trolling him for it.
Disbar these lawyers. Disgraceful.
All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?
But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.
He doesn’t use drugs either
Depends on your definition of a “computer”. A shitty laptop surely doesn’t count, even less so if it runs Windows.
I am shocked I tell you, shocked. Well, not that shocked.
All Tesla cars have computers inside.
“It’s all computer”
