Elon Musk, in a deposition, admitted causing harm through his tweets in a defamation lawsuit over a conspiracy theory.
Elon Musk, in a deposition, admitted to causing "self-inflicted wounds" through his tweets and social media statements. Musk is being sued by Ben Brody, who accuses Musk of promoting a conspiracy theory falsely identifying him as a federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi. The Tesla CEO stated that he didn't think he had "meaningfully harmed" Brody but acknowledged that his comments have the potential to be incorrect and could have a chilling effect on free speech. This marks the first time Musk has been sued for defamation since his Twitter acquisition in 2022.
