.@JoelEmbiid’s story should be that he didn’t start playing basketball until high school & became one of the best & most skilled players of all time.
But your tweet was spot on. If people truly knew what Joel has played through, they would appreciate him even more.
@sixers@975TheFanatic@celtics@Ticketmaster@Toyota Absolute joke. Team plays 0 defense, has no ball movement, and low shot IQ. Flat out miss wide open shots and can’t capitalize on the very few offensive rebounds they get per game. Nick Nurse is lost. The team doesn’t even want to play for him.
In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud.
Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match.
Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines.
Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past.
That's exactly what Altman wants you to think.
Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings...
A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion.
If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem.
Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this:
Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language.
xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity."
Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise.
An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits.
That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking.
Just look at what he did this week:
Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins.
Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally.
That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense.
He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back.
OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg.
They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy."
That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win.
Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak.
OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery.
Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion.
The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away.
And the timing couldn't be worse...
OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them.
A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth.
This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist.
Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama.
The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER.
And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.
TMZ flips the script and does real reporting. They finally call out Democrats and say EVERYONE in congress needs to be voted out
They have evidence of Congress partying like they’re on Spring Break while everyone else has to deal with the shutdown
“It's not the other party, it's both parties and we are kind of sick of the way they are patronizing us and that's why we're doing this. Something has to change”
“We have talked about what we call the outer movement, OWTA out with their asses, voting everybody out, even the ones you like to reset things and make it clear to the next group.
Here is our expectation that you will keep the government open, that federal workers will get paid. And if you don't do that, we're gonna throw you out. Like we threw your predecessors out. So that seems to be the only maybe last resort of regaining some power”

He joins Allen Iverson (12/05/1996) as the only rookies in franchise history to record 35+ PTS and 10+ AST in a game.
TPUSA COVER-UP UPDATE: Employee works 90-hour weeks to help raise $250 million & then put on AmFest. Thinks she's being called in to the office to be recognized & congratulated, but is instead FIRED with ZERO explanation. This is one of the most heartless & frustrating employer moments I've ever heard. If you work for TPUSA you owe this organization NOTHING. What is TPUSA trying to bury?
This is WILD. We usually use a list like this to make excuses for a QB but Jalen Hurts has been a National Champ, Heisman runner up, NFL MVP runner up, Super Bowl MVP…
This is why most never see the reptilian or serpentine forms.
Mass Uncontrolled Hallucination.
