Musk says he only meant to call cave diver a 'creepy old man' in 'pedo guy' tweet

in Los Angeles federal court, saying Mr Musk falsely branded him a paedophile and child rapist.

L Lin Wood, a lawyer for Mr Unsworth, in an interview called his client"a good man whose efforts saved the lives of 13 people", and said he would reply to Mr Musk's court filing discussing the tweet in three weeks.He called Mr Musk's motion"as offensive to the truth as was his original tweet".Mr Musk, who grew up in Pretoria, said"pedo guy" was"a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up".

He said the expression was"synonymous with 'creepy old man'" and used to insult a person's appearance and demeanour."In response to his insults in the CNN interview, I meant to insult him back by expressing my opinion that he seemed like a creepy old man."to"stop defending child rapists" was based on an aide's summary of a private investigator's report on Mr Unsworth, and that he did not then know the statement was false.

Mr Unsworth has said he had shared a house in the Thailand countryside with a 40-year-old woman who owned a nail salon.

He lost a lot of fans when he revealed himself as a bitter nasty fool

Damn that auto text!

B...S...

An Elongated excuse. Also complete rubbish

Maybe he was having a billy while tweeting which has to potential to impede word recognition or he is a bit of a flog.

Sure you did, Musk, suuuuuure you did....

he didn't even accuse him of being a pedophile just one time tho

When you're in a hole elonmusk....stop digging.

That's some crazy auto correct going on there.

When it comes to appearance Elon Musk should probably do himself a favour & shut up.

I think the stock market at the time showed how much people believed Musk and his excuses 🙄

I ain't no big city lawyer, but I doubt whether 'I only meant to imply you were a paedo' is a solid defence.

Who’s calling who creepy😳

Bloody spellcheck gets us all into trouble.

Somehow he doesn't realise that even saying that is totally uncalled for. You had a tantrum elonmusk apologize unreservedly.

'Whoops my finger slipped every single one of those times I typed the wrong letter and didn't correct myself.'

Ah. That's OK then?
