Vernon Unsworth Refuses To Apologize To Elon Musk — So, Now What?
The British cave explorer suing Elon Musk for calling him a “pedo guy” on Twitter testified on Thursday that his criticism of the Tesla Inc chief executive that led to the tweet was not a personal attack.

In the defamation trial’s third day, Vernon Unsworth also refused to apologize for a July 13, 2018, CNN interview in which he said that Musk’s offer of a mini-submarine to help rescue a boys’ soccer team from a flooded Thailand cave was a “PR stunt” and Musk could “stick his submarine where it hurts.”

“My insult was to the tube and not to Mr. Musk personally,” Unsworth said while being cross-examined by Bill Price, one of Musk’s lawyers. “I’m not sure how I need to apologize. It was my opinion at the time and I stand by that opinion..."

"They also called Unsworth’s estranged wife who gave him a character endorsement, despite the fact that Unsworth is living with his girlfriend part of the time in Thailand."

So he's married and is living part time with a Thai girlfriend, sounds like a stand-up guy.

Yup, guess what... Vernon lost the trial: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-elon-musk-wins-defamation-trial-vernon-unsworth/

Looks like he's not taking over Tesla after all, much to the dismay of people on this forum.

Musk needs to be slapped down big time for his defamation. It is conduct unbecoming of someone who runs a large company. Musk needs to be kicked out of Tesla.

Why should he apologize? There was an 18 inch section the divers had to get through to get the kids out. Could only get through one at a time. How is Elon's sub going to get through that?
And SanJise, you want to criticize this guy's morals? Elon has left his wife to date actresses and gone back and then left again. Not to mention scamming investors of millions to bail out his cousin's failed solar panel company.

Never apologize, never explain to an egomaniac.

Can't Musk just say pedo meant pedometer? There, all fixed.

And that was proved to be false as prosecutors introduced emails from Elon calling Vernon a child rapist. Not much ambiguity there.

Calling someone a pedo is murder now?
