Elon Musk seeks to dismiss 'paedo' lawsuit as 'schoolyard spat'

Elon Musk has cited the First Amendment in seeking to dismiss a lawsuit brought against him by a British diver, who the entrepreneur called "pedo guy" on Twitter. Vernon Unsworth sparked a war of words with Mr Musk during the attempted rescue of 12 Thai school boys and their soccer coach trapped in a cave earlier this year. The cave diver described Mr Musk's efforts to build a rescue submarine as a "PR stunt" with "absolutely no chance of working." In an interview on CNN in July, Mr Unsworth said: "He can stick his submarine where it hurts." Mr Musk responded by insinuating that the British diver, who was assisting with rescue efforts, had travelled to Thailand looking for a "child bride."
