Elon Musk's lawyer asked the British cave explorer suing the Tesla CEO over 'pedo guy' tweet whether he would apologize to Musk

LOS ANGELES - The British cave explorer suing Elon Musk for calling him a "pedo guy" on Twitter testified on Thursday that his criticism of the Tesla chief executive that led to the tweet was not a personal attack.

Unsworth's lawsuit focuses on three Musk tweets on July 15, 2018, five days after the diver helped complete the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from the cave. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Musk, who told the court this week his net worth is around $20 billion. Jurors are expected to begin deliberations Friday after Judge Stephen Wilson formally instructs them before the two sides give closing arguments. Wilson rejected a motion from Musk's lawyers to dismiss the case.

Musk's lawyers on Thursday tried to weaken the defamation argument, suggesting Unsworth's reputation was unsullied and that he even tried to profit from his role in the rescue, which won him plaudits from the Thai and British governments.
