Tesla co-founder Elon Musk was cleared of defamation on Friday by a jury in Los Angeles over a tweet in which he labeled a British caver "pedo guy." The jury deliberated less than an hour before ruling in favor of Musk and clearing him of any liability in the high-profile case that pitted him against Vernon Unsworth.

Elon Musk says he doesn't have a lot of cash. His wealth came up in the second day of his testimony before a federal jury in Los Angeles, where the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive is on trial over a tweet in which he referred to a British cave expert as a "pedo guy." Musk also explained to the jury his penchant to tweet.

A federal judge has cleared the way for a defamation trial against Elon Musk over his comments about a British cave rescuer after rejecting key-arguments from the Tesla-chief. US-judge Stephen Wilson ordered a trial to begin December-3 in Los Angeles in the case that centers on Musk's tweets in a disagreement connected to the rescue of 12-boys from a cave in Thailand in July-2018.
