LOS ANGELES - Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk was due to resume testifying in his own defense on Wednesday at the trial for a defamation lawsuit filed by a British diver whom the Silicon Valley billionaire called “pedo guy” on Twitter.
Unsworth was leading a rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand last year when he mocked Musk’s offer of a mini-submersible as a public relations stunt in an interview on CNN, adding that the Tesla Inc founder should “stick his submarine where it hurts.” Musk was called to testify on Tuesday by the plaintiff’s lawyers after a jury was selected in the high-profile case and lawyers for both sides delivered opening statements.
Although the case does not involve Tesla, Musk’s Twitter habits have long been under close scrutiny, with the company’s investors and regulators expressing concerns about his tweets.
