Good, he got what he deserved. He shouldn't be making outrageous claims in the first place.

I don't claim to know anything about how these things work but, given the guys net worth and the number of Twitter followers he has, £57,000 seems like a relatively small price to pay for baselessly (I assume?) branding somebody a paedophile.
Except Musk doubled down and said he had cast-iron evidence of the guy's child bride. So present that shit in court, Elon.
Presumably, the compensation you are seeking has to have some base in reality. Realistically, what has this whole spat cost Vernon? Obviously they have also left the 'punitive damages' kicker in there, which is where the big bucks can come. It's pretty hard to win this type of thing in furst 'mendment Murica, although Musk might actually have overcome the stupidity threshold needed with his second effort. Suing a billionaire though, only one winner there usually.
I read the thread title as a Smith's song
You could argue Elon's lost a lot more in share drops already.
As a result of other stupid things he said, not accusing someone of noncery.
Have I said on here before that a guy I used to work with loudly announced himself as a nonce in front of the whole team because, as he explained upon us giving him a collective "you're a what, now?" he thought it was a word for idiot?
Someone I worked with about ten years ago was outed as a nonce by one of those Facebook sting groups. I posted a clip of the video here a while back because his defence was 'I'm not a paedo, ask my mum'.
He's also being sued in England which will get to court quicker and means the burden of proof that he's a paedo is on Elon as well. He'll get 300k from that as well as whatever they settle for in the US.
How did I miss that Simpsons meme, outstanding.
@Baz
The report is out.
Musk had an offer for $419 but said 420 to entertain his girlfriend. In response, the SEC has said that he should be barred from running any public company permanantly.
Considering what happened with the Theranos lady, who committed outright fraud on investors and outsiders alike and only got a 20 year ban, even I think that is overly harsh.
Ps anyone who wants a lol. Read the Theranos story. Henry Kissinger and his DOD friends losing millions betting on a woman pretending she was Steve Jobs is very funny.
One of the young kids has recently died in the UK.
Not suspicious according to the old bill.
I just watched the film of this - cracking effort by the British lads.
Whilst the film will obviously make it more dangerous, spending any amount of time in those caves is seriously fucking scary.
I can't think of anywhere I want to be less than in a cave like that. Would take my chances in a tiger enclosure instead.
Only a pedo would voluntarily go into a cave full of kids.
The way they got them out in the end is brutal, but effective.
Drugged them, literally tied them up like a little parcel... Dragged them halfway through, drugged them again, then dragged them through the final half ... Something like a 6hr journey.
It's between that and this:
For the worst shit ever. Worse than anything Stephen King has ever come up with.
At least if you die whilst climbing something mega it'd be a glorious and quick death.
I wonder how long it would actually take to hit the ground from up there.
My possibly terrible googling puts it at 15-20 seconds.
My grandad did shit like that under Manchester in the 80's, digging into old canals. I went with him (and my uncles) a few times but was never brave enough to go inside. Not helped that they had built their own dam that looked like it would collapse any second.
How is R1 doing?
He must be fifty now lmao.
Sorry. he must be fifty now lmao
Playing Subnautica was enough for me to confirm that I really just don't want to be doing deep sea shit.
What possible reason is there to go into those caves if somebody has already explored them? At least climbing to mad heights has a great view.
There is a series of videos on youtube I saw ages back which was all fatal diving accidents and it was harrowing yet compelling.
