>>Is he not allowed to call people names for some reason? I once called my friend a douchebag, so can he sue me for defamation?
Pedophile is very specific (Musk even pushed his luck by suggesting to journalists that they investigate his claims) and I can't think of a worse thing in today's world.
Example: "Son of a wh*re" is an insult and probably not actionable. "Your mom, named Jane Doe, did this and that at this hotel with x guys" is very different.
