Elon Musk has a history of letting loose via Twitter. Now, Tesla’s founder and CEO is facing defamation charges over calling a little-known British citizen a “pedo guy.” His defense is he wasn’t calling the man a child molester, but that this was “just a case of two men trading angry insults,” per Forbes.
