Elon Musk failed to avoid a lawsuit over his claims that Vernon Unsworth, a cave rescue diver, was a "pedo-guy". Judge Stephen Wilson has determined that the defamation case is strong enough to be tried, with the trial starting on October 22. While Musk's lawyers claimed that he was only expressing his "opinion," the judge pointed out the emails sent by Musk to BuzzFeed where he made detailed (and unsubstantiated) claims that Unsworth had a fiancee. In the context, the judge said, an observer would likely conclude that Musk was making "objective fact claims" rather than sharing his thoughts.
