> Your boss does not care about your side project, as long as you get the job done. But for you to feel better, don't put your name on it until you have quit your job, it's the internet you can still be anonymous.

> No company is going to waste their time and expensive legal resources gratuitously suing you for a side project, unless it's something blatant that directly impacts their bottom line.

Don't be so sure. Some jurisdictions allow companies to own the IP you create outside of work hours if it's explicitly in your contract or you're using work resources.

They may not sue you... until you have profit - then they'll want to collect their rightfully legal share.

So…when you then own a large successful company you’ll have to deal with 1 additional lawsuit from someone who thinks they have some ownership stake?

You should be so lucky.

I dunno, Elon has large successful companies and I am not sure he feels lucky to be involved in a 44B lawsuit
