L. Lin Wood, a lawyer retained by the British diver Vernon Unsworth, whom Elon Musk called a “pedo,” is "preparing a civil complaintfor libel" against Musk, BuzzFeed first reported.
In a letter addressed to Musk obtained by Business Insider, Wood says Musk made “false and defamatory statements” suggesting that Unsworth is a pedophile.
Wood also invites Musk or his legal representatives to contact him to avoid a lawsuit.
A representative for Musk did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
