Elon Musk appeared more petty than prepared
Elon Musk testified in the Musk v. Altman trial, appearing unprepared and petty. This is a contrast to his previous court appearance where he turned on charm and was found not guilty. Musk's focus on his own accomplishments detracted from the narrative of the trial. This may impact the outcome of the trial. The direct examination is crucial in making a clear narrative.
