Why is this so difficult to confirm? Are the indie journalists doing any work at all? They can't track down whether this guy married a 12-year-old?

Seems hard to believe they can't.

Some journalists actually tracked down the guy's GF and interviewed her.

She's 40.

Did he say GF or wife? I'm not looking at the post, but I thought he had an underage wife.

And thanks for the article. Appreciate it.

@notagame,

Musk posted on twitter that Vernon Unsworth had married a "child bride," but the couple is not married. They have been lving together in a common-law/cohabiting relationship for seven years.

So it was/is true.

What age was she when they met?

@notagame,

She's 40 now, so I guess that means she was 33 when they met.

Oh, well, then it's a complete fabrication and I wouldn't believe anything Musk had to say.

I think Musk has snapped. He's been doing other crazy stuff lately, like that thing where he tweeted about having investors to take the company private, and it turned out to be completely untrue.

BTW, if you look at a picture of Unsworth's partner in the Daily Mail article, it truly is phenomenal. She looks twenty years younger than her age.

I've seen other Asian women who are like this. Even one 55 year old who looked like she was in her 30s.

I think Musk has snapped.

I don't know anything about this, but it sounds like he's very misguided, or being fed wrong info.
