The claim appeared in a court filing related to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. The Tesla and xAI owner has posted about his laptop numerous times in the past year.
[…] However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer. […]

So, Elon, you said that you totally legit play PoE 2, but you also said you didn’t use computers. So which is it?
Which is it, Elon?
He doesn’t use drugs either
“cannot” or “does not”
Shan’t not
Well we all knew he wasn’t the one playing the path of exile
He was using Neuralink and is playing with 1% of his brain capacity at all times. Trust.
Meh, doesn’t use his brain either.
Does he even possess one?
I bet he’s got at least one, in a jar or something.
hey leave us organ collectors out of this
So are we not doing perjury anymore?
In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.
He live streamed himself playing path of exile 2 from his private jet.
On an account that he paid someone to grind up
In this stream he kept failing on the tutorial boss, so I dont think it was his competency stand-in.
You’d think he’d pay someone better to play
He sat in front of a screen while his stunt double played.
Then his stunt double sucks at the game too.
You can’t tweet without a computer. It may be a mobile one, but even that is a computer. This is a stupid claim which could only fool an idiot.
So depending on the judge, we’ll just see what happens…
Most people draw a distinction between a phone/tablet vs a desktop/laptop. It’s not a distinction that can be easily defined, but most people instinctively categorize them as such.
But regardless, the issue at hand has nothing to do with that definition. The discovery process requires them to process any applicable devices that might have info, potentially including all of the above (and more). His team said they already did his phone, but that the laptop in question is not used by him. His opponents say that he has not complied with the requirements of discovery.
The judge will rule on whether that laptop is included in the discovery order.
A particularly fancy drainage pipe is a computer. I think its reasonable to make the distinction that a phone /= computer for the sake of normal definitions.
Doesn’t this guy regularly stream from a laptop in a desperate attempt to seem cool?
He has streamed path of exile 2 which is pc-only.
this argument from his lawyer is probably going to twist the English language beyond obscene
“What’s a computer?”
Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. “That depends on your definition of ‘have’, ‘used’, ‘a’, and ‘computer’.”
God damnit I read this in his dumb voice
Why not use the Clinton defence “That depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.”
Which gets made fun of a lot but it’s not as vapid as it sounds. He said “There’s nothing going on” with Monica Lewinsky because, at the time he was asked, there wasn’t. He was accused of lying, and that was his defense, because interpreting “is” in the typical sense of referring to the present tense made his statement accurate.
But I thought that everythings computer?
I was thinking it would be more about “use.”
He streamed himself playing a hardcore character that his minions sank hours into and proved he knows nothing about playing the game. So maybe it wasn’t his laptop either.
Not just hours. Like 80 hour weeks to get to that rank.
It also died while he was live streaming nazi support to the AFD in Germany. So he was clearly not playing then
No its not, I play it on PS5.
Extremely desperate
Maybe he used a public library PC?
(/s, obviously)
He’s and RoG Ally handheld kind if guy
(/s, obviously)
Gosh, that is beautiful notation! I’ll be using it if you don’t mind! Have a great day.
Only Elon Musk could get cyberbullied on a wireless Abacus playing ARPGs in the sky.
He doesn’t use computers in the same way he doesn’t abuse ketamine.
Hold on now! He posted those clean drug tests from his computer the other day. Clearly he would not lie about his drug tests!
Psh, no way Musk could afford to fake a drug test. Fake urine costs like $30!
Disbar these lawyers. Disgraceful.
Doesn’t use his brain either.
So many comments from people who, if they read the article, would realize that the article already said that.
Time to plug into a WIRED subscription.
Woops, not reading this one. I’ll go speculate in the comments with everybody else.
Sorry, I forgot this was a thing with Wired articles (I don’t read regularly enough for it to usually be a problem) - I’ll add an archive link to the OP
Fair enough. I just Reader Mode it.
That should be pretty easy to disprove with all of his path of exile streams.
He’s paying someone e else to do those. Except for the ones where he sucks.
I’d love to see him say under oath that he paid someone to play his game for him.
And someone in the courthouse trolling him for it.
Hasn’t he already admitted to this while not under oath?
I would love for him to admit that in court to try and prove he doesn’t use a computer.
Which is exactly what the other side pointed out
Didnt he have a big thing about getting bigger monitors in the white house so he could game?
