Elon Musk says he tweeted diver was 'pedo guy' after insultElon Musk is shown in a courtroom drawing in court during the trial in a defamation case filed by British cave diver Vernon Unsworth, who is suing the Tesla chief executive for calling him a "pedo guy" in one of a series of tweets, as the case begins in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Tesla CEO told jurors that he called Vernon Unsworth ``pedo guy'' because he was upset the diver had belittled his efforts to help by building a mini-submarine to transport the boys. Unsworth called it nothing more than a ``PR stunt'' and said Musk could stick the contraption ``where it hurts.'' ```Pedo guy' was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up,'' Musk said in a court declaration. The lawsuit is not the first time Musk's tweets have landed him in hot water.
