LOS ANGELES: Tesla Inc boss Elon Musk went on trial on Tuesday for alleged defamation in appearing to describe a British diver who helped rescue a group of boys from a flooded Thailand cave as a pedophile on Twitter.
One man was quickly excused after saying he was interviewing for a job with Tesla, while two women were dismissed after saying they followed Musk's tweets and could not be impartial. The Unsworth episode began after Musk offered a mini-submarine from his SpaceX rocket company to help with the cave rescue.
Unsworth must prove the tweets were false, that Musk did not use reasonable care to determine if they were true, and that people reasonably understood them to mean he was a pedophile.
