At SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk has “unrestricted” use of his e-mail accounts for private stuff, and “nobody” at Tesla can get ahold of his emails without his specific consent besides “to the extent legally needed.” At SpaceX, completely no person can entry Musk’s emails without his permission. This is just not true for different staff at SpaceX and Tesla, the place firm insurance policies make it clear the rank and file haven’t any expectation of privateness. It’s good to be Technoking, I assume.
This got here up as a result of Twitter, which is suing Musk for abandoning his joke takeover bid for the corporate, has been attempting to compel Musk at hand over his emails. But Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the judge overseeing the case, ruled that due to Musk’s particular privileges, his emails will stay non-public. They’re lined by attorney-client privilege, she says.
She writes:
A cynic may doubt that Musk-specific insurance policies exist at SpaceX and Tesla. Defendants’ factual arguments to that impact rely solely on the affidavits of Musk, who has so much at stake on this litigation, and three of his direct stories, and not one of the affidavits are supported by any company information reflecting Musk-specific guidelines. Still, to this jurist, the proof rings true.
Yeah, it rings true to this cynic, too. Musk has lengthy been clear that he’s a particular boy who doesn’t have to follow the rules. In this case, that might imply he’s leaning on three direct stories to lie — however it additionally suggests they don’t must lie, largely as a result of lol, clearly, the foundations that apply to everybody else don’t apply to him? Remember when he smoked weed on The Joe Rogan Experience, and then we came upon a Tesla worker was fired for… smoking weed?
