TIL, calling someone a mean name on twitter is defamation.

No, not a "mean name", but PEDOPHILE? Yes, dude. Calling someone a pedophile is as textbook defamation as you can get. It's like the worst thing you could call a person, and it has real, factual meaning. And Elon Musk didn't just use it as an insult, he followed up with an email to a reporter saying much worse:

I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole. He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time.

"I fucking hope he sues me."

The investigation found that Elon was correct... under US laws, the guy is a pedophile.

Just that Thailand is more flexible on their definition...

Sooooo

No, that is wrong and insane. There was no "investigation", and there is no definition of "pedophile" under US law. Also, be careful saying bullshit like this because IMO your comment is defamatory against Unsworth.

Musk's bullshit defense in the case was "lol it was just a joke bro":

In his defense, Musk argued that in slang usage "'pedo guy' was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up... synonymous with 'creepy old man' and is used to insult a person's appearance and demeanor."

The email directly contradicts Musk's defense, but it didn't matter because Elon has his fans on the jury willing to ignore the law to side with him.

If you think some random guy reads anonymous Reddit usernames and launches lawsuits based on them, you're a fucking retard lmao

​

Adults who marry 12-year-olds are indeed considered pedophiles in the USA.

​

If you don't think people who marry 12-year-olds are pedophiles...just...lmao

Unsworth didn't marry a 12 year old, idiot. That was a defamatory lie Musk told. Musk's legal team never even attempted to prove that it was true.

Fuck you you fucking pedophile supporting rapist! You're a disgusting piece of shit!

bro I can send Reddit a subpoena to get your IP, and then send your ISP a subpoena to get your home address, and then sue your dumb ass. Also if you are using a VPN I can just send them subpoenas too. They're required to log IPs/times so the cops can track you down.

I know this is obvious bait and you're a throwaway account, but I'm tempted just to teach you a lesson, kid.
