Elon Musk goes on trial in U.S. for defamation over 'pedo guy' tweet

Elon Musk is known for his eccentric, sometimes controversial use of Twitter. Now, Tesla Inc’s chief executive may have to pay for using Twitter to brand someone a pedophile. Musk is expected on Tuesday to go on trial for allegedly defaming Vernon Unsworth, a British cave explorer who gained international renown for playing a lead role in the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand in July 2018.
