A jury deliberated for less than an hour before agreeing with Mr Musk

The Tesla co-founder was found not guilty of defamation against British diving expert Vernon Unsworth

A court heard how the comments shared by the billionaire to his millions of followers on July 15, of that year, made him ‘humiliated, ashamed, dirtied’. After the ruling found he was not liable in the defamation case, the billionaire said ‘my faith in humanity is restored’.Mr Unsworth became emotional as he recalled how the comments made him feel

Mr Unsworth, a veteran cave explorer who said he first travelled to Thailand in 2011 with his girlfriend Woranan Ratrawiphukkun, known as Tik, added Mr Musk’s tweet was ‘very hurtful’.Mr Unsworth lost the case following a four-day trial

So in that case we can all call Mr Musk a ‘pedo guy’ PedoGuy musk

The ultra rich and powerful rule the world. This was a minor example. Look what happened to Jeff Epstein who had dirt on all those rich powerful people and was killed/died in prison. Money buys the best lawyers.

Another O J Simpson verdict? American lawyers are Rubbish, worse than British lawyers, and they take some beating 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

See the jury driving away in their new Tesler Cars to their new Ranch ......

That’s insane. He didn’t just say he was a pedo he insisted multiple times that the guy literally moved to the country just to rape kids.... this is insane.

Well that money grab didn’t work, at last a court did something right😎

How is that even possible. To call someone a paedo - who is not - is a clear defamation. Did they just decide 'He's English, he probably IS a paedo.'

Ah look what money can buy

The jury were not told who the appellant is and why this matters. Retrial should be done

Elon Musk did not defame British cave diver by calling him ‘pedo guy’, court rulesA jury has found that Elon Musk's statements calling a British cave diver who assisted in the rescue of 13 people in Thailand a 'pedo guy' do not constitute defamation. A Los Angeles court heard how could it not be immensely defamatory? Sound defamatory to me. If Musk were a decent human being, he would have reached to this man early on and apologize and maybe even toss him a few bucks.
