Congrats to Bill Savitt and the rest of the WLRK team on their win today! Will never stop being grateful for Wachtell being the training ground where I got to start my legal career.
Replying to @mtothekg
Time for cross! The questioning is being done by Bill Savitt, who also faced Musk in the Twitter litigation. In addition to being one of the best litigators in the country, he happens to be a truly lovely and generous human.

The crypto market structure bill has PASSED the Senate Banking Committee with a bi-partisan vote! Historic day for crypto and for the future of digital assets in America. Grateful for the countless hours from lawmakers and staff to strengthen this legislation. Big improvement from where we were in January on rewards, tokenization, DeFi, and CFTC authority. I'm proud we stood up for our customers in that moment, and the bill is better because of it. Looking forward to a bipartisan law that cements the US as the world's crypto capital. Let's get CLARITY done.

CLARITY is closer than ever. The bill is strong. It will benefit the American people by making the US financial system faster, cheaper and more accessible. It will also ensure that the US leads in the global race to build the next generation of our financial system. Huge thank you to the Senate, their staff, and 3.7m @standwithcrypto advocates for helping to get this legislation to where it is today. Mark it up.

Another first Monday in May spent at my computer instead of at the Met Gala. A girl can dream. Maybe next year!

The final rewards text in the CLARITY Act is now public. We’ve been clear throughout this process: much of this debate was based on imagined risks, not real evidence, nor was it based on a real understanding of how crypto actually works. Nevertheless, the crypto industry showed up to engage. Through months of meetings, the @WhiteHouse, @USTreasury, @BankingGOP, @SenThomTillis and @Sen_Alsobrooks finally arrived at a compromise. In the end, the banks were able to get more restrictions on rewards, but we protected what matters – the ability for Americans to earn rewards, based on real usage of crypto platforms and networks. We also ensured the US can be at the forefront of the financial system – which in this competitive geopolitical era is paramount. That’s important for innovation, consumers and America's national security. Now that this issue is behind us, it’s time to focus on the broader bill. While this debate has been underway, lots of progress has been made on other areas like token classification, defi, and tokenization. We’re excited to review the full, final text, and for the bill to move forward. It’s time to get CLARITY done.

Fulfilling my love of original sources and trials. Long line outside the Oakland courthouse for Musk v. OpenAI this AM, long before the ☀️ came up. 5am arrival meant 5th in line, so have successfully snagged a seat for main courtroom 🍿

Alas, time to get back to real life. But it’s been a delightful, albeit sleep deprived, first half of the day. Wouldn’t trade it for sleep. Will stay tuned to @MikeIsaac for the rest!

There is a statute of limitations defense at issue. Musk could be right on the merits (tbd) but too late to bring a claim.

Musk getting slightly skewered on the term sheet that he didn’t fully read at the time. The judge’s commentary in addressing objections is telling: even if he didn’t read it, he had an opportunity to and was on notice.

Favorite trial moment so far. Musk translates “tldr” into “too long, DON’T read” as a directive to not bother reading instead of as a fallback takeaway of “too long, DIDN’T read.” Love the literalist interpretation.

Ok crypto was not on my bingo board for this testimony. Apparently an ICO was on the table for OpenAI. Musk objected to it.

I forgot about the soothing hum of reporters’ keyboards in a courtroom.
