Unsworth 'Pedo Guy' Defamation Trial (Thai Cave)
Summary
British caver Vernon Unsworth, who helped rescue boys from a flooded Thai cave, sued Musk for defamation after Musk called him 'pedo guy' on Twitter following a dispute over Musk's mini-submarine offer.
Outcome
Favorable: a Los Angeles federal jury deliberated under an hour and found Musk did NOT defame Unsworth, accepting the insult was non-literal heated rhetoric.
