Elon Musk faced a recent deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed by a Jewish college graduate, Benjamin Brody, who accused Musk of falsely identifying him as a neo-Nazi involved in a brawl. Despite efforts by Musk and his legal team to keep the deposition confidential, details have emerged showing Musk's struggle to justify his actions and admissions of harming X's bottom line through his controversial tweets. Musk, admitting to being 'guilty of many self-inflicted wounds', defended his tweets as an exercise of free speech. The lawsuit also targets Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, with allegations of unauthorized practice of law in Texas and a bid to punish him. The case has brought to light Musk's admission of using X burner accounts and not fact-checking his posts.
