I'm less concerned about the lack of mention of that in articles which are otherwise treating them as complete quacks inventing abuse allegations against innocent people out of whole cloth.

I'd be wary of putting too much stock in the conclusions of an article which portrays Elizabeth Loftus as an impartial and objective debunker of false memories, as this one does. She was paid large sums of money to defend scores of men accused of child sexual abuse, extrapolating from her experimental demonstration that it is possible to implant false memories to the conclusion that this was common and the true origin of most recovered memories This conflict of interest somehow always goes unmentioned in articles like the one from Wired.

Many CSA survivors today now say that the obsessive focus on "false memories" has been a significant obstacle to healing from their trauma and being able to discuss it openly.

It's definitely not accurate to say Musk has "paid" anything yet. Things don't seem to be going well for him in court though, so he might be forced to pony up the full $54.20 per share, unless he can torpedo the $13B debt portion somehow.
