Elon Musk testifies in California 'pedo guy' court case

Vernon Unsworth, who helped rescue 12 boys trapped in a Thai cave last year, is suing for defamation.

Mr Musk, the first to testify at the court, said Mr Unsworth had insulted him, so he had insulted him back.

The 48-year-old said the "pedo guy" tweet had not been meant to be taken literally.

Mr Unsworth's legal team have described Mr Musk's now-deleted tweet as "vile and false" and are seeking unspecified punitive damages.
