Claim: Elon Musk filed $60 Million suit against The View (Viral post, 2023-03-28)
Evidence (2021-07-06): Musk heads to Delaware’s Court of Chancery on July 12 to defend the deal. He’s the sole remaining defendant in a case brought by shareholders alleging that the SolarCity purchase was a bailout of a troubled company founded by his cousins in which he was the biggest investor and chairman. The suit had also accused Tesla’s board of lax corporate governance. Board members, led by chair Robyn Denholm, settled for $60 million last year, admitting no fault. But Musk opted to defend the purchase. A loss in the case could cost him more than $2 billion, the full cost of the acquisition, which would be one of the largest judgments ever against an individual corporate executive. While companies such as Bank of America and BP have faced damage awards in the billions for their roles in events such as the mortgage-backed security collapse and disastrous Deepwater Horizon oil spill, individual executives are seldom solely liable for such large amounts.

Evidence (2024-03-05): It’s a Hell of a lot more than 140 characters, but the severance and benefits lawsuit against Elon Musk and X Corp from a quartet of ex-Twitter executives sends a very clear message. [...] The needles in the haystack here is that Agrawal, Segal, Gadde, and Edgett all had "good reason" clauses in their respective contracts that assured them of a full payout in the event of a circumstance like Twitter ceasing to be "a publicly traded entity"- as occurred with Twitter in October 20222. Those clauses seem to have been overlooked by Musk and his minions when they showed Agrawal (who alone stood to receive a $60 million golden handshake), Segal, Gadde, and Edgett the door. Having spent the day expressing dismay over immigration stats and joy over the latest Space X launch, Musk had nothing to say about Mondays’ suit. Reps for X did not respond to request from Deadline for comment on the move by ex-CEO Agrawal, ex-CFO Segal, ex-legal/policy chief Gadde, and ex-general counsel Edgett.

Evidence (2024-06-12): Christie Farrell Lee & Bell’s Landmark $60M Victory Against Tesla [...] The lawsuit, initiated by the Dugan guardianship estate against Tesla, Inc. and the negligent employee, was not just a fight for compensation; it was a battle for justice, accountability, and recognition of the immense pain and suffering endured by Chris and his family.

The jury’s verdict was a resounding affirmation of the legal team’s efforts, awarding a staggering $60.6 million in damages, later adjusted to $42.4 million due to comparative fault considerations. This verdict is a testament to the jury’s acknowledgment of Tesla’s significant responsibility for the vehicle accident and the profound impact it had on Chris’s life. The case was also featured in the Indianapolis Star recently as well.

Ron DeSantis spent in the same period combined, according to data from AdImpact, an ad tracking firm.

Doug Burgum is one of Donald Trump’s most visible and vocal backers, sprinting around the country to drum up support for the former president’s comeback bid while auditioning to be his running mate.
