Elon Musk testified that he is “financially illiquid,” a lawyer for the British diver Vernon Unsworth wrote in a legal filing, Bloomberg’s Dana Hull first reported on Wednesday.
Unsworth is suing Musk claiming defamation after the Tesla and SpaceX CEO called him a “pedo guy” on Twitter last year.
Musk’s tweet followed an interview in which Unsworth, who was involved in last year’s rescue of a youth soccer team and its coach from a cave in Thailand, said the miniature submarine Musk sent to Thailand to help with the rescue would have been ineffective and was merely a publicity stunt.
Musk later apologized to Unsworth and deleted the tweet.
