LOS ANGELES: Elon Musk ruined what should have been a highlight of a British diver's life by falsely accusing him of being a pedophile, a lawyer for the diver said on Tuesday as the defamation trial against Tesla Inc's chief executive got under way.
The trial before U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles is expected to last about five days. While the case does not involve Tesla, it is among the last issues hanging over Musk from a turbulent 2018 and early 2019, when he regularly clashed with Wall Street and short sellers as Tesla struggled with production problems.The episode began after Musk offered a mini-submarine from his SpaceX rocket company to help with the cave rescue.
