He lost in the sense that he filed a lawsuit and that lawsuit was dismissed.
replyIt seems like a reasonable way to use the word, no?
Obviously so.
replyYou're either responding to an LLM or a badly malfunctioning human.
An account that's two minutes old, defending Elon Musk in a way that makes no sense.

replyHmm, I wonder why the title
of the article doesn’t say the lawsuit was dismissed or why.
replyI think it's fair to say the headline misleads, even if technically accurate. My initial read was that he had lost on the merits of the case, and not "jury rules Musk sued too late".
replyHe can appeal if he wants to, but if he had a good argument for why the statute of limitations shouldn't apply, he would already have brought it up.
replyOdds of him winning on appeal are low.
Sure, losing is winning. I mean what are words anyway?

replyYep. Headline is clickbait. Never bet against Elon.
replyUnless you're betting that a thing he has said will happen will actually happen when he said it would. Or even 10 years later.
replyTrue
