Bringing this case in the US was probably a mistake. Their defamation laws mean it is very very difficult to get a guilty verdict. Maybe he was hoping for a deal before it went to trial.
It would be a good gesture from Musk if he paid the 'pedo guys' court fees. Does Musk do good gestures or is he an arse?Bringing this case in the US was probably a mistake.

None of which would exist without huge government subsidy, funny that, corporate welfare is good, anything else is gulags.
I thought this had all died at the time when Musk apologised to the chap? Did he take him to court anyway?
Am I living under a rock?
He has a degree in physics and owns an electric car company as well as a company that puts rockets into space, I think he might know a few things about engineering. Just stop taking utter rubbish
And his main expertise is publicity. Regardless of any work he might do in engineering. Or what companies he owns. Owning a company has no relevance to what product or service the company makes or provides, so that's just some more rubbish you're talking.
Tesla and SpaceX are completely privately funded, what are you talking about?
Huh?! Tesla is a public listed company. That's how Musk got into trouble previously Tweeting he's going to take the company private.
what do you expect to happen if you do? Go ahead and enjoy your new found freedom.Does this ruling mean that we are all free to call Elon Musk a paedo at will? *meant as an insult obvs*
Musk repeated the accusation afterwards, very publically, and publically stated that Unsworth was a child abuser unless he sued Musk. Musk's apology was (like his defence in court) a lie.

As a matter of interest, would you say the same of Bill Gates?
If @Angilion thinks Musk is an "expertise in publicity", then it'll be interesting to know what he thinks of Job's? Probably says Job's was an engineer
Your original post strongly implied, or very poor choice of words if you were questioning it, that you thought his abilities other than publicity were likely not genuine... [..]

I wasn't questioning it or implying anything - I was dismissing it as irrelevant.
