William Savitt — Wachtell Lipton's lead defense lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, trained to break witnesses.
Savitt opens with a misleading premise.
Musk: "You're being misleading. What you're saying is false."

Musk: "Your questions are not simple. They are designed to trick me."
Savitt demands a yes or no answer to a complicated question.
Musk: "If you ask a question where there is no possible simple answer, I must give a longer answer because any simple answer would be misleading the jury."
Musk reaches for an analogy: "The classic answer to a yes or no question is not so simple. For example, if you ask the question 'will you stop beating your wife?'..."
Judge Gonzalez Rogers cuts him off: "No, we're not gonna go there."
The courtroom laughs.
Savitt apologizes for the question.
Musk: "I find it funny you saying it wasn't an unfair question since you're only asking unfair questions."
Savitt: "I'm doing my best."
Musk: "That is not true."
OpenAI's lawyer came to break Musk.
Musk wasn't having it.
