Man of Honour
Whilst is hardly deserves a jail sentence i agree, baselessly branding someone ' a pedo ' and 'child rapist' online should not go without some sort punishment.
With modern culture of trial by internet, it only takes 1 idiot to beleive and act out some vigilante style punishment on this innocent man.
Eventually. When was the last time he met one of his self-imposed deadlines?
I'm quite fan of Musk's accomplishments (or at least, those of the people who work for him), but the reason he's in court right now is purely down to his ego. He wanted his mini submarine to be be used in the cave rescue and threw his toys out of the pram when he was told (quite rudely) that it was an unworkable idea. That's really no reason to accuse someone of being a pedo. Instead of swallowing his pride and apologising, he then doubled down on the idiotic claim and here we are.
From memory I think Elon apologised soon afterwards and then the spat kind of ended. Then, for whatever reason, a random person brought it up to Elon months later and Elon suggested the fact legal proceedings hadn't been brought against him it must be "strange" (it isn't really, he apologises, everyone moves on, 'tis the British way).
No ounce of sympathy here for Elon, he was at fault, apologised, then insinuated the lack of legal action was telling. Now he has his legal action.

Saw the headline and thought the OHSA had finally had enough of having to inspect the Tesla plant 90 times over a three year period due to the huge number of employee injuries.

I miss that Elon. I used to look forward to checking what silly tweets he'd posted. Unfortunately he crossed the line with the one about taking Tesla private, and since then he's learned (or been forced) to rein it in.

Why would he lose sleep? He's only being sued for $75,000. Still, it's time out of his life he has to waste on this. Also, you don't have to ask to be given sympathy from someone else, that's a part of empathy.

Its more because he is a massive bell end.
Ah ok, I was just assuming that he’d have been paid off already. Like maybe the diver is more concerned about the principle of it, not just letting the billionaire pay him off with something meaningless but rather make him appear in court etc... Taking up his time, having him publicly found to be in the wrong etc... more of a sting than having his lawyers just cut a cheque for some sum of money that’s meaningless to Elon to make the problem go away.
I mean he's only really able to get a financial settlement anyway... Unless he's actually what Musk say's he is, he should just go through with the trial.
Otherwise there was little point to it and it wont really stop Musk doing it again. Money is cool and all, but dragging Musk through the mud would be far more interesting.

If I remember correctly Elon Musk challenged Vern Unsworth to sue. Whether that was out of ego or just assuming he could spend more on lawyers to win we can only guess at.
The whole submarine idea was impractical from the start which he should have learned from a 5 minute conversation with anyone with real cave diving experience. Amongst the reasons why:
- The human body conveniently bends in the middle, so getting though tight spaces is a lot easier.
- The accompanying Doctors can't check breathing, blood pressure and heart rate with a metal tube in the way.
- Nobody has used a sub before and nobody has the experience of doing it, so a huge risk compared to the known techniques for these rescues.
- and this bears repeating:

Really? Seems he under-delivers or outright fails on his promises these days.

Whatever you want to believe.
He is about to send astronauts on his rockets and about to embarrass NASA's new heavy rocket.

Does the Cult of Musk have special benefits? No wonder he doesn't need advertising.
