LOS ANGELES - Elon Musk did not defame a British cave explorer when he called him “pedo guy” in an angry tweet, a Los Angeles jury found Friday. Unsworth’s attorney suggested to a federal jury Friday that it award $190 million in damages to a British cave explorer who is suing Elon Musk for allegedly branding him as a pedophile during a Twitter spat. “What in the world would it take to discourage Elon Musk from ever planting a nuclear bomb in the life of another person?“ Wood said. Musk’s lawyer told the jury the tweet was an insult provoked by Unsworth and did not rise to the level of defamation. “When Elon Musk tweets something it goes around the world,” Wood said.
