IT WAS A BAD TWEET, BUT IT WASN’T $190 MILLION BAD: Tesla boss Elon Musk wins defamation trial over his ‘pedo guy’ tweet. “During the course of the trial, Musk testified under oath that his use of the term ‘pedo guy’ – slang for pedophile – was never meant to be taken literally, and he apologized to Unsworth for the comment from the witness stand. . . . But the jury was apparently swayed by the arguments put forth by Musk’s attorney, Alex Spiro, who said the tweets in question amounted to an off-hand insult in the midst of an argument, which no one could be expected to take seriously.”
