Elon Musk is asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit against him from a British diver he called a paedophile on Twitter.
The tech billionaire has argued that his comment was part of nothing more than a "schoolyard spat on social media" that readers didn't take seriously.Mr Musk's motion to dismiss, filed in court on Wednesday, argues that the "public knew from the outset that Musk's insults were not intended to be statements of fact".
