@taylorlorenz he’s such an innovator, he found a completely new way to avoid standing trial

[viss@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz i do not have an adequate amount of tiny violin or popcorn gifs for this

[telepyleia@infosec.exchange]

@taylorlorenz trial by peers, so maybe they should ask billionaires to judge him?

[futuristicrobert@infosec.exchange]

@taylorlorenz maybe if he goes back to South Africa he'll get a fair trial.

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz heartwarming

[ramenjunkie@retro.pizza]

@taylorlorenz Maybe there should be a clause on trials that if a person is so shitty that a jury can't be formed, it just becomes and automatic loss against the hated person.

"Guilty of being a supreme asshole your honor."

@RamenJunkie @taylorlorenz
Maybe they could make a jury of his babymamas, ex wives and adult kids. I'd pay money to see that.

[paco@infosec.exchange]

@taylorlorenz It is good that they can’t find 12 of his “peers” for a jury. One is bad enough. We don’t need a bakers dozen.

It's easy. Just look for satisfied Tesla car buyers... 🤭

[chuckmcmanis@chaos.social]

@taylorlorenz crocodile tears.

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@taylorlorenz I would totally be disqualified.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@taylorlorenz why should it be considered bias if he's so hateable? that seems like a loophole. Nope, you can only have jurors that don't hate him? Maybe they're on Mars.

[robo105@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz Well, he is an ubermensch so when it comes to hate he will defeat us all

@taylorlorenz
I love that that quote is from his own attorney.

[nickrauchen@c.im]

@taylorlorenz

Isn't that in effect the largest ever "jury of his peers"?

[baubaus@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz Did he also eliminated the crazies who still considers him a genius, or he looked for them as the only jurors allowed ?

[dolino@mastodon.social]

@taylorlorenz Elon is untouchable for now

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@taylorlorenz Maybe he hates himself, so they'd be a jury of his peers
