If he knew he would definitely make it public so we can stop with that line of nonsense.

As I recall, when it went to trial, Musk's defense was basically, "I wasn't serious about him being a pedophile. This kind of trolling is what happens on the Internet."

If he actually had any dirt on the guy, his defense wouldn't be, "Don't take my claim seriously," but rather, "Here's the evidence to back up my claim."

I vaguely remember hearing he hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on the guy to ruin his life but there was no dirt to be dug up. But maybe I am misremembering things.

  • Then there would be at least two people misremembering. He wanted to navigate the tight system of a water filled cave with a submarine and felt insulted that his idea was non-sense. The rescue operation involved divers holding their oxygen tanks in front of them to squeeze through holes.
