"We're going to have Elon Musk here this afternoon. What do you think of him?" Sorkin inquired, prompting laughter from the audience.

Dimon replied, "He's obviously a brilliant human being and making unbelievable contributions to mankind. But, you know, he comes with pluses and minuses."

Sorkin then highlighted that JPMorgan is entangled in a "big" lawsuit with the Tesla CEO.

Dimon downplayed it, stating, "It's a small lawsuit," which amused the audience further. He elaborated, "We believe we're owed money for something, and they say no. It's in court, and we'll win."
