sirineou Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Don't Musk have better things to do with his time? I am an Elon Musk fan but I think this is a serious mistake , I am sure his lawyers have advised him against it, and I am wondering if all these things might Have gone to his head, also as an investor in Tesla (by comparison small change) I am wondering what other good advise he might not be taking. I bought at $260 perhaps time for some profit taking?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racket Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I hope Musk wins though! The other guy started it and we all know he’s doing it for the money. Unsworth has lost all my respect. Keep fighting Elon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsworth should grow up and move on with his life before he gets kicked out of Thailand if Elon ever threatens future investments in the kingdom. Politics at play!

The guy's a genius but shouldn't have risen to Vernon's bait with his lurid response. Musk isn't going to be bankrupted by any amount of compensation but prefer him to be getting on with his very successful business rather than arseing about in litigation.

Unsworty started it by insulting Musk, why is Unsworth's insult allowed but Musk's not? I think Musk has a very good chance of winning , and even if Unsworth won, he'll be dead and buried before he sees a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO appearing in court is a huge mistake. What kan he tell that his lawyers could not? But as far as the legal case is concern there is a case of self defence to be made. How successful remains to be seen, you might very well be right . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silly lawsuit. It clearly means child abuser a d child rapist. Musk did not just slander Unsworth in the worst way possible but effectively, all male expats in Thailand. Musk now can not visit the UK or Thailand where he must appear in court to answer for his crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No consequences, we both just get over it. Cool thinking.....or maybe you want to rethink. Maybe you want to rethink Musk was the ONLY billionaire who took the time to come to Thailand and offered some help But no, Vern didn't like the guy, and <deleted> in his face on TV. It does not matter what Vern thinks is good or bad help, but Musk did come all the way. Did you go there to help?

atyclb Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 they were going back and forth trading insults and name calling, lest not forget who initiated it with the submarine cure for hemorrhoids remark. plaintiff counsel likely asked for too much to settle thus going to trial.

What does any of what you write have to do with anything?! He offered to help, he was told in no uncertain terms that it would not work. He responded by alleging that Vernon was a paedophile, went to great lengths to prove it and then challenged Vern to prove that he was not a paedophile by suing him. So in Vernon did not sue, he would be assumed guilty for not challenging Elon's claims. Hardly just a case of name calling, but a sustained attempt to smear someone's character. He will have to pay for it, as only an idiot or a sycophant would try to defend Musk in such a matter. Almost akin to defending a paedophile. Best to distance yourself. This has already been discussed at length. It's feels somewhat akin to trying to discuss planning a trajectory to the moon with a three year old. They just aren't going to get it. That is why I won't bother to expend more energy discussing it with you, if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you followed the case at all, he called Vern a pedo not just once, he called him a pedo a second time, not only that he got someone to check Vern's past history in Pattaya to see if there was any dirt he could dig up, he also tried to say that Vern married his wife when she was under aged all unsuccessful, and it was Musk who dared Vern to sue him, not the other round as many on here keep saying!

There may be a percentage both on here and in the world at large, who suspect that Musk used the attention he gathered from being considered "super successful, highly intelligent, and creative" .to publicly and vocally accuse as a paedophile a man with whom he had a public disagreement. That same percentage may now suspect that Musk expects his reputation for being "super successful, highly intelligent, and creative" will somehow allow him to avoid answering for making that accusation.

Mick501 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Unsworth could have chosen his words better, but let's not forget he'd been awake for god knows how many hours, and under enormous stress with the rescue still very much in the balance. He can be excused for calling out someone for grandstanding, and it certainly appears in hindsight that he was right. Musk on the other hand has millions of sycophantic followers. He chose to seek the public spotlight and has been incredibly successful at getting his name out there. Whilst there is a slightly mitigating circumstance in Unsworths original words, there is a noteable difference in that Unsworth's premise was based in fact. The degree of defamation is very much impacted by the size of the audience. No doubt any penalty will be insignificant to Musk, and he just wants the other guy to suffer through the process. Probably a financially smart move as it acts as a good deterrent to future law suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Maybe we all can go to court ? He labelled all of us pedos for choosing to live in Thailand. For Musk . Thailand means dirty old men looking for young kids. When your message reaches millions of people worldwide, we all have to suffer because of his stupid actions.

Me, nor other person has verbally insulted you personally. Then you come along and start people calling names. And comparing us with 3 year olds, sycophants, idiots and what else... Listen Cheesehead, if you cannot properly write your own opinions, instead of making it personal, then do not write anything at all. > That is why I won't bother to expend more energy discussing it with you, if you don't mind. Yeah please don't. I totally don't mind You can disagree with Musk traveling 8000 miles and inventing a mini sub to help people sure, that is your opinion. We are not going to insult you for that.
