From an article:
That is one theory to explain why Musk has spent the last two days in a Los Angeles courtroom defending himself in a defamation case, the subject of a lawsuit after he very publicly called a manwhom he'd never met, but whom he was having a public dispute via the mediaa pedophile, a baseless allegation made in a furious red mist of wounded pride that is now costing him, and us, time and money.
Oh, but that's not what Elon Musk actually said, or meant, we are now expected to believe. When Elon Musk referred to Vernon Unsworth, a British expatriate living in Thailand and an expert cave diver assisting with the rescue of a group of Thai boys stranded in the Tham Luang cave complex in the summer of 2018, as a "pedo guy"the retort Musk managed to cook up after an exasperated Unsworth said Musk's attempt to hijack the rescue with a cave submarine was a ludicrous PR stunthe just meant that Unsworth was a "creepy old guy," he tried to tell the court. Pedo means something else for South Africans (quick: name someone else from South Africa who is not Nelson Mandela), we were told.
Last summer, after his spat with Unsworth, Musk hired a private investigator to see if Unsworth, who is married to a prominent Thai woman from the Chiang Mai areaan area that Musk apparently discovered has some connection to child sex trafficking after some Googlingin fact, actually fancied boys, like Musk publicly suggested.
That the private investigator was a con manand that there is no evidence Unsworth is a "pedo guy"doesn't seem to matter. Elon Musk was taken in by someone willing to play Musk's own mythos against him. Then, after he was swindled, he just kept on digging. He told a prominent cybersecurity expert that the allegation was true. He then sent an email to a Buzzfeed News reporter in which he called Unsworth a "child rapist," and in which he said he hoped "Unsworth ****ing sues" him.
