Probably because it was spelt incorrectly.

Of course he did

Not really a fair trial was it?

Is because he has the more expensive lawyers

Who thinks that Elon Musk could, possibly, allegedly, theoretically, maybe, be a 'pedo guy'?

LOL

He sued for $190 Million. Ludicrous amount of money. He got greedy and paid the price.

Farcical.

rich white guy in not guilty shocker

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.

how could it not be immensely defamatory?
