Imagine dead ass thinking someone owes you more than the US GDP.

Apparently he's asking for 39 trillion to pay off the national debt and ONLY twice as much money as the highest amount a single human has ever amassed for himself 🙄

Suing the government…. Who would then pay the debt…. With funds from…..?

“Hey, you owe me $10… I’ll let you borrow $10 so you can pay me back the $10, but you’ll still owe me that new $10 you borrowed”

The entire complaint, which is more akin to a manifesto than a formal legal document, is presented in a single paragraph.

Sounds like he has ADHD...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think his mental problems exceeds ADHD country by far.

Depends on how you feel about treason.

I mean, we've all known variations of this guy. He's got some batshit crazy ideas and it's amazing he's not in a mental ward for something but damn if he's not a good hang.

Article dated: 29 September, 2025. So how's the case going?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Searching several combinations of keywords and date ranges didn't yield anything about it being dismissed or starting, so probably still pending 🤷

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's only been a week since the article first came out, that's just me wondering why it's being reposted.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I first heard about it myself this morning and immediately thought it would fit this community. In which it hadn't already been posted, I checked 😁

Goddammit! My search range was a week, since that's how old I thought the story was! 🤦

Sam Altman will be watching this case with interest. Maybe he can get a new round of funding from this guy.
