Re: WTF? Elon Musk wins "pedo guy" lawsuit
The diver initiated the insults to each other.
Told Elon where he could stick his submarine.

Elon, answered back to the pedo guy.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77099315


And??? He falsely accused someone of being a pedophile. That's defamation.
 Quoting: thinking...


Yes, in UK law it's defamation. He would have been done for it, no messing.

It's why US celebs come to UK to initiate defamation suits if they possibily can. US law is all First Amendment wimpy about defamation.

Musk accused this man on a world wide forum and then admitted that he had no proof and didn't mean it.
How did he get off?

exactly though, because no one really assumed he meant it, everyone could tell he was just pissed off and trying to insult the guy

in that context the content of the actual insult is larely irrelevant. Offense was taken, offence was given. Who really believed the guy was a pedo because of what some stranger on the other side of the world said ?

Re: WTF? Elon Musk wins "pedo guy" lawsuit
It's not defamation if it's true, in general. But I don't know the specifics of this case. Musk can be off-the-wall at times, but he wouldn't say something like that with zero evidence. He probably has access to files on most people.
 Quoting: Daozen


Bullshit. There is no proof the man is a "pedo" and Musk admitted that.
 Quoting: thinking...


This...like this is a surprise to anyone. If you are rich on paper or in power or appointed (as King Elon was), there is no justice. Justice is for justus.

If it's true, it's not defamation.

Rich people are always very careful before accusing someone of this.

Trump is the grand master troll. When he says something, you might not believe it, but it's probably 99% chance of being true.

Calling someone a pedo is worse than calling them a murderer today. It is the worst thing you can tell the world (who listens to you) about someone. It is life ruining for the recipient if the account accusing has millions of listeners. Dude..fucking get a clue.

Because he didn't outright label him a pedophile. Subjectively people might call someone a pedo based on how they look.

Reno 911 short-shorts guy comes to mind.

Close call for Elon.

Well he does live in Thailand, a lot of pedo ex-pats live in Thailand, so it's plausible he is a pedo guy.

That's also why Elon Musk said it because the chance is big that it sticks. Should have gone with whoremonger though, that sticks on probably 90% of the ex-pats living in Thailand.

except he didn't win the lawsuit because they found credible info that the guy was in fact pedo, but because he claimed he was just saying "foolish stuff" online

yet it seems from the article he was quite aggressive about it, he said it a few times

clearly an unfair verdict in the shithole of US and A

Re: WTF? Elon Musk wins "pedo guy" lawsuit
The submarine had been designed by Musk and his team with little knowledge of the cave system and its twists and turns. When it arrived in Thailand – unbidden, and with a large retinue that some feel disrupted the genuine rescue efforts being led by a team including Unsworth – it didn’t even fit into the cave entrance.

However, that doesn’t chime with Musk’s other behaviour around the time. He hired a private detective (who later turned out to be a fraud) to dig up dirt on Unsworth and his past, in an attempt to find evidence to substantiate the claim that Unsworth was interested in children. He also emailed reporters to claim that Unsworth was a “child rapist”, and asked to be sued.

Re: WTF? Elon Musk wins "pedo guy" lawsuit
People seem to forget that the pedo guy started the whole thing when he insulted Musk wanting to send a submersible. They wouldn't even allow the technology to save lives, simply because pedo guy, just like millions of other dumbasses, are jealous of Elon Musk. It's pathetic. Everyone who dislikes Elon Musk, dislikes him because he is rich, successful, a technology pioneer, and gets babes like Amber Heard. This man is truly a genius, not a fake genius like Trump. Musk will go down in history with the likes of Einstein and Newton.
