He actually won at trial by claiming it was just a prank.
> Musk testified that Unsworth had proposed a physically impossible act that could not be taken literally. Likewise, he said, the pedo guy phrase couldn’t be taken literally. “Mother-effer doesn’t literally mean incest,” he noted.

- TeMPOraL 6y agoIn an e-mail to BuzzFeed marked "off the record", urging the journalists to investigate Unsworth's past, which the journalists then published while excusing themselves by saying "OTR doesn't mean OTR unless we agree too!". Musk accused Unsworth of taking a child bride, based on information from a con-man who tricked Elon into hiring them as a private investigator. I think the full context paints a bit less evil picture than your summary. Also an unexpectedly convoluted story in itself.
