Elon Musk: actual billionaire

Sam Altman: fake billionaire (most equity is tied to openAI)

this should be a one sided battle

I thought Sam has no equity in OpenAI?

Most of Elon’s wealth is also tied up in equity.

This type of thing makes me wish the only option was public defenders so you aren't able to just pay more and have better chances in court. That said - I still don't think Musk has a good chance here, he's lost cases against people with far less resources by just being confidently wrong, at some point paying more for lawyers doesn't help you

Only indirectly via his equity in YC, but it's tiny, AFAICT.

His TSLA shares are quite liquid.

Sure, but most of the "value" in his companies are tied... to him! Sort of like early Amazon; "In Bezos We Trust".

He was liquid enough to buy Twitter on a whim though.

He sold for over 22 billions (two times $8bn over just a few days, plus roughly 7 billions in two other occurrences), this count as liquid without doubt…

At least 1/2 of Altman's net worth is invested in Helion energy (fusion energy startup).
