NEW: Elon Musk was recently deposed in a lawsuit for falsely accusing a Jewish man of being part of a neo-Nazi brawl. Musk tried to keep his testimony from the public. Here it is. 🧵
Musk was hit with the lawsuit last year after falsely accusing Ben Brody of being part of a neo-Nazi brawl. Brody wasn’t even in the same state when the brawl occurred. More here: huffpost.com/entry/elon-mus…
In his depo, Musk said he has a “limited understanding” of the lawsuit against him and admitted he did no research other than looking at tweets. He also said he thought it was Brody's attorney suing him (it's not). huffpost.com/entry/elon-mus…
Musk defended his post in question, saying he tagged Community Notes as a “good faith” effort. But a community note was never added to his false claim. It remains up on X.
