Summary
OAKLAND, Calif. that is to say, conclusively tilting in one direction.” Musk said during the trial that he waited to sue because he believed reassurances from Altman over the years. “Thinking that someone might steal your car is not the same as someone stealing it,” Musk said on the stand. “I would have filed a lawsuit sooner if I thought they had stolen the charity sooner,” he said. Molo told reporters that Musk’s appeal would be based partly on a legal concept known as the continuing violation doctrine, which can extend the statute of limitations in certain situations when there’s a long pattern of wrongful conduct.
