Jurors in the defamation trial of Elon Musk could be deciding the case on Friday following a day of testimony that included British cave diver Vernon Unsworth testifying against the Tesla chief executive.

Unsworth is suing Musk in federal court in Los Angeles for defamation of character and slander after Musk used the term “pedo guy” on Twitter to describe Unsworth during the efforts last year to rescue a boys soccer team that had been trapped for days in an underground cave in Thailand. Musk had offered to send a mini-submarine to aid the boys’ relief attempts. All 12 boys, and their coach, were eventually rescued without assistance from Musk.
