If his BS was tried in non US courts the decision would be different. In the UK we have a fuck nugget called Lawrence Fox (a meh actor) who's fully unboard the same far right train as musk, he called a drag queen and another actor paedophiles after they called him out for racist comments. The two people sued him and won in the court, in fact his defense was a disaster because he regurgitated far right BS and claimed he was the victim.

Unfortunately, the guy Elon called "pedo guy" lost his suit. Elon can buy the best lawyers on the planet.
I want this to work, but I don't have much hope that it will.

His brother in law is Richard Ayodade from the IT crowd. which makes his racism incomprehensible.

Proving the defamation lead directly to damages is hard.

That's a weird way to spell "creates and perpetuates"
