LOS ANGELES: The British cave explorer suing Elon Musk for calling him a"pedo guy" on Twitter testified on Thursday that his criticism of the Tesla Inc billionaire chief executive that led to the tweet was not a personal attack.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages over three Musk tweets on July 15, 2018, five days after Unsworth helped complete the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from the cave.Musk's first tweet questioned Unsworth's role in the rescue, while the second said,"Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it." The third tweet, in response to a follower who asked Musk about the second tweet, said"Bet ya a signed dollar it's true.
In his own testimony, Musk, 48, apologized to Unsworth and said he did not believe Unsworth was a pedophile. Unsworth, 64, said he began caving as a hobby in 1971, and splits his time between Britain and Thailand, where he has a Thai girlfriend.
