Johnny Depp's lawsuit accusing his ex-wife of defamation is off to a wild start, including a link with the world of SpaceX andTesla.
During opening statements inside a Virginia courtroom on Monday, Heard's lawyer claimed that Johnny Depp is obsessed with Musk, which drew a smirk out of Pirates of the Caribbean.
It is a strange intersection of different types of celebrities. Musk has often been pulled into court proceedings.
Heard had an affair with the CEO of the company one month into their marriage, according to the lawyer for the actor.
Heard filed for divorce from Depp.
A representative for Musk told Vanity Fair that Elon and Amber didn't start seeing each other until May 2016
Musk was referenced in some vile texts sent by Depp that were sent around the time Heard was dating Musk.
He hasn't made much headway. He lost a high-profile libel case with a UK court siding with The Sun, which had labelled him as a wife beater.
Musk, along with other A-lister celebrities including James Franco and Paul Bettany, are rumored to be listed as possible witnesses by Heard.
According to the Independent, another of Heard's lawyers described Depp as an obsessed ex-husband hellbent on revenge.
New claims of sexual assault made by Heard during the trial are being made public for the first time.
It's probably as messy as a divorce can get, and it's also a terrible time for Musk to be in.
It's not clear whether Musk will be called to the stand. It's certainly not out of the question.
