And the combined cultures at these firms can't be beat.

* All right everyone. Let’s use our Dr. Evil voices: frivolous lawsuit earns Donald Trump sanction of… one MILLION dollars! Or $937K at least. [NY Times]

* If he’s interested in pushing his luck, his lawsuit against his niece is still going. [Courthouse News Service]

* Musk likely to take the stand today in Tesla trial. Facing questions from people he can’t suspend? It’s a whole new world out there. [Reuters]
