> As far as I'm concerned Musk doesn't deserve anything, other than destitution.

So two angry men shout invectives at each other, and you believe one of them deserves to have their life completely destroyed as a consequence? That sounds a little disproportionate.

[TheSpiceIsLife]

Yes.

Calling someone a pedophile is what you do when you want to destroy someones life.

And I'll continue to believe Musk deserves the worst of all possible worlds until he makes a public apology, streamed live.

Zero tolerance cuts both ways.

I see your point, but personally I'd prefer if people were less willing to entertain destroying each other over spoken words. As it is now, the diver's life seems unaffected, so the negative consequences failed to materialize.

I definitely believe that for such unfounded, public accusation from a de-facto celebrity, a very public apology and some meaningful monetary damages are warranted. I feel this would suffice as a deterrent.

Here's the public apology. Good on him.

Nonetheless, 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.

And then he goes on to launch a special event where he gives away ETH and BTC. So I guess that's kinda of nearly almost giving money to a kids charity? It's something at least.

I agree, that's what I'm saying.

If he's prepared to go around slinging that accusation, then I have no respect for him at all.

The best possible outcome would be if he makes a public apology, and approaches the guy in an attempt to make reparations.

Just a simple: "Yeah, look, that was out of line. I'm seeing an anger management psychologist in an effort to curb my behaviour, and I'll donate a million to a children's charity of your choice."
