      I…already described it? Elon didnt make as much money as he wanted and now there’s a court case. A case where nothing was taken, only not given.

        Ah. You’re mistaken, then. This is a private lawsuit, not a criminal proceeding.

            A private lawsuit is one that is filed by a private party (individual, company, etc.). It is very different from a criminal trial.

              it’s still based in law. the government enforces rulings. Otherwise defendents would have no reason to comply.

                It’s still not a criminal case. And this isn’t some kind of obscure technical point, the differences are substantial.

                  Would you be okay if i rephrased my post as “against the law” instead of “a crime”?

                    It would still be an inaccurate and unfair characterization of the USA, which is really what bothers me.
