Vernon Unsworth is suing Musk for calling him a 'pedo guy' in one of a series of tweets.

Asked after Tuesday's session in US District Court in Los Angeles if there was any chance Musk would settle before the civil trial, his attorney Alex Spiro told Reuters: “No.”

Unsworth‘s legal team withdrew the Buzzfeed emails from the basis of its defamation suit last week, and is suing now only for the four tweets Musk published in July 2018. But Wood told the court he wants to present the emails as supporting evidence pointing to Musk’s"state of mind" in the original tweets.

Lawyers for both sides said on Monday that Musk and Unsworth would testify in what promises to be a combative trial.
