Not an Elon Musk fan, although he has done some good stuff (with or without US tax dollars).

I believe he’s probably autistic, which makes sense given his success. That condition would also cause some (or severe) lack of social understanding and awareness.

Dang Elon, this is going too far!

Musk tweeted Wednesday that "his actions against me do not justify my actions against him, and for that I apologize to Mr. Unsworth and to the companies I represent as leader. The fault is mine and mine alone."


“I am aware of his apology, and (have) no further comment,” Unsworth told Reuters over the phone Wednesday.

Maybe he and his engineers should work on that, and leave the grandstanding alone. Getting toothpaste back in the tube has been a problem for decades, even longer than man made global warming.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Vernon Unsworth has sued Musk over Musk’s reference to him in a July 15 tweet as a “pedo guy,” a comment for which Musk later apologized. The suit also claims that Musk called Unsworth a child rapist and sex trafficker in an Aug. 30 email to BuzzFeed News.

The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles seeks at least $75,000 of compensatory damages, plus unspecified punitive damages.

The case is Unsworth v Musk, U.S. District Court, Central District of California, No. 18-08048.

Should add a zero or two to the end of that dollar amount.

Yeah, 75000 seems light even for a nuisance suit.

Punitive damages are usually higher than compensatory.

Whatever he gets, DON'T take it in Tesla stock.

The Defamation lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk begins today in Los Angeles. The case is based on Musk’s social media posts calling British cave rescuer Vern Unsworth, who was instrumental in the rescue of a trapped Thai youth soccer team, a ‘Pedo Guy.’

Yahoo News reports that Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk is set to go to trial on Tuesday after he accused British cave rescuer Vernon Unsworth of being a pedophile. Unsworth played a major role in the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand in July 2018, during the incident Unsworth criticized Musk’s plan to use a miniature submarine to save the boys labeling it a publicity stunt. In response, Musk called him a “pedo guy” on Twitter.

Now, Unsworth claims that Musk should pay punitive and other damages for harming his reputation. The trial will be before U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles and is scheduled to take place over five days. Musk is expected to testify in his own defense

Can we please not reply to old JALLEN posts please? One it's freaky, and two I miss him. On a even freakier note, my new phone autocorrected his name in all caps. I purchased it after his passing.

Please stop.
