In Elon Musk's latest court fight, he tried to convince the jury that the 'pedo guy' tweet wasn't an accusation of sexual deviance, just 2 men trading angry insults
and now hit with a lawsuit claiming he defamed a little-known British citizen who the billionaire tech entrepreneur called “pedo guy” in an irate tweet. He’s trying to convince a jury that that wasn’t an accusation of sexual deviance, just two men trading angry insults.
In his opening remarks, Wood said they’ve caused Unsworth to feel “shame, worry and distress at being called a pedophile” and that Musk “failed to use reasonable care to prove those statements were true.” The suit, which Musk characterized as a “shakedown” on Wednesday, seeks unspecified damages. “It was an unprovoked attack on what was a good-natured attempt to help the kids,” Musk, dressed in a somber charcoal suit and tie, told the courtroom. After watching the interview, “I was angry. … What he said was wrong and insulting and I insulted him back.”
Unsworth displayed no emotion Wednesday as Musk referred to him multiple times as creepy even after the Tesla and SpaceX CEO conceded there was no evidence of inappropriate behavior or actions by Unsworth.
