Wow. I just read that entire thing and it was EXCRUCIATING. I'm not sure how anyone could read that without cringing into their shell let alone consider it a valuable breakdown of what happened. My god.

Sure, Informed.
Thats why you are defending Elon for Defaming the Diver.
Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires and/or techy Libertarian types clinging for a messiah, despite their messiah being dumb enough to call people pedophiles on the internet when he gets mad.
not the hero we wanted
also not the hero we need
also also not the hero whose contributions have any actual contribution
HIs attempt was to hire a felon (convicted of fraud) that was pretending to be a Private investigator after he send an email to Tesla. Zero background checks or anything. Paid him 50K.
So Elon Musk did not call a man a pedophile and hire a private investigator* to try and prove said man was a pedophile because he was mad that he got made fun of on the internet?
*not actually a private investigator
Imagine staning for a loser who cost his company billions because he was high on Acid.
Actual judge, after hearing evidence and arguments from both sides: this should go to trial.
Unbiased and objective people whose views on Elon Musk and Tesla are rational and logical: hope this guy is bankrupted for wasting the court's time.

Odd complaint. They said "eat the rich", not "eat everyone" or "eat people at random".
Yep. To me not even egotistical, narcissistic. Reminds me totally of something trump would do. Want to be seen the hero and then when not considered so and pointed out he was the opposite start trying to make the other person look bad.
It was so much like a trump thing to do it totally killed my good opinion of him.
Another thing that came out of this case, while everyone wants to bash Elon for his supposed "PR" stunt and making it about himself. Here is Vern looking ahead for Hollywood movie $$$ and actually bashing the divers for taking the spotlight (one passed away..) from him and saying they will pay for it. Him going on CNN bashing Musk and his sub out of nowhere, when he had no understanding of it or the situation surrounding Musk working with the rescue team, could easily be viewed as seeking attention trying to create a story... you know for fame or $$
again, what does this have to do with Musk calling someone a pedophile
What's the difference? This thread is about two specific people, and nothing larger than that.
User Banned (3 Days): Conspiratorial Rhetoric Over Multiple Posts in this Thread
I'd say it's pretty damn relevant to the trial if guy was looking for a payday, goes on CNN and makes outrageous inflammatory statements... Then sues for a payday.
What does any of this have to do with Musk's baseless and disgusting lie?
Is this thread not about the trial? Those are court documents and I'd say his motivation for money, then going on CNN and bashing Musk out of nowhere is absolutely relevant to the trial
So your suggestion is that Vern intentionally insulted Musk, because he knew Musk would call him a pedophile, so he could sue for money?
I'm saying guy was looking to cause a stir and grab the spotlight, because he was looking for Hollywood and book $$$ in his own words, so he went on CNN to drop bombs knowing the lightning rod celebrity Elon is....
So both sides right? Even in a clear cut situation you can't really side against Musk. It's like a religion for some of you.
But what does that have to do with Musk calling him a pedophile.
A nerd with a shit personality that never evolved past his early teens, does a positive thing purely for his own ego and so millions will like him and crawl back to him after all those comments made about him in high school!
The whole nerd but become *successful* resonates with alot of questionable individuals.

I see it more as being about how the ability of individuals to accumulate disproportionate amounts of financial power enables some of them to reshape and influence society in undemocratic ways and how we need to sue and then eat them before they call us all pedos.
No guys don't you get it. Vern meticulously planned this diabolical scheme to trap Musk into calling him a pedophile.
Musk had no other option but to do what Vern wanted. He definitely couldn't apologize after the fact, NOT hire a PI, settle, or anything like that.
Elon was the victim of a grand conspiracy.

You don't know what Defamation is do you?
Especially Defamation per se.
I am not in disagreement that "disproportionate amounts of financial power enables some [disproportionately wealthy folks] to reshape and influence society in undemocratic ways", but this is not a thread about that.
Unless of course you can find another instance of a billionaire calling a (relatively) poor guy a "pedo", in which case I will withdraw my complaint.
Otherwise I would advocate against drive by posting, especially when it diminishes the argument that many of us share.
you remember how this shit evolved, these shit protections of Musk on this?
- Musk calls the guy a pedophile, double down on it
"Woah, Musk is so sure, he must have dirt on the diver!"
- Musk has nothing on the diver, diver plans to sue
"Well, the diver should be thankful Musk called him a pedophile, now he's going to get paid."
- Musk tries to get case dismissed, fails
"THE DIVER ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY!!!"

Lol, and can you point me where in this timeline of yours that the diver is forcing Musk to call him a pedo and hire a private detective (who turns out to be a scam artist himself, lol) to "investigate" the diver?
Maybe you should go to the nearest Tesla factory to recharge or replace your battery, because I think the juice running to your brain is running out.
