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.

Musk also confirmed he has a burner account where he role-played as his toddler son. He called it a “test account.”

“I wish I was old enough to go to nightclubs. They sound so fun,” Musk tweeted on his burner account role-playing as his toddler son.
