UCLA's law school is offering a class on Elon Musk and all of his lawsuits

Law students are interested in the legal battles of Musk.

A professor at the University of California Los Angeles has started a class on the law of Musk. The billionaire's long history of legal battles will be followed by the course.

"As someone who manages an immense amount of other people's money, Musk constantly faces the temptation to pursue his own interests and goals rather than focusing on the welfare of those who haveentrusting him with their savings." Some of the ways in which law affects Musk's divergences from shareholder interests are examined.

Insider asked for comment from Musk and Bainbridge, but they didn't reply.

I thought this would be a way of grabbing students' attention.

According to the publication, Musk has a tendency for generating ideas that produce enormous amounts of value but who would be a pain in the butt as a client because he often leaps before he sees.

I have never met the guy, but he is not a process guy. He's not a guy that you can control and he's willing to push the edge of the legal envelope and take risks that most business people wouldn't.

Musk has challenged authority in the past. The CEO of the company took aim at the SEC. The billionaire called the agency "bastards" in April after they brought fraud charges against him.

After waiving his rights to due diligence, the billionaire is trying to extricate himself from an agreement to buy the social networking site.

Insider Musk was told by experts that it will be hard to stand up in court. There will be a trial in October.

According to a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, no M&A lawyers would recommend Musk do what he did. The only explanation for this legal battle is that Musk does things his own way.
