Elon Musk will testify in a defamation suit brought against him by Vernon Unsworth, a British man who helped with the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooding Thai cave in July 2018
Unsworth is suing Musk for accusing him of being a pedophile and is seeking punitive and compensatory damages. The trial begins on Tuesday at a federal court in Los Angeles and will presumably reveal more information about the tweets, the Thai cave rescue and Musk's life. Musk and Unsworth are both expected to testify, their respective lawyers told CNN Business. In October, US District Judge Stephen Wilson rejected Musk's attempts to dismiss the lawsuit.
Days later, in an email Musk sent to Ryan Mac, the reporter behind the BuzzFeed News story, he renewed his original claims against Unsworth. He wrote,"stop defending child rapists," in reference to Unsworth and also accused him of moving to Thailand for a child bride. Unsworth's lawyer described the claims"vile and false." On September 17, 2018, Unsworth sued Musk.
