‘At their best, they are each incredible.’ Elon Musk breaks his silence over Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case, hopes the two move on

The much publicized trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation case has everyone weighing in on the couple’s relationship and picking sides. However, Heard’s ex-boyfriend, billionaire and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk had a very neutral stance to take online when the defamation case drew to a close, as both sides presented their closing arguments.

A tweet by Lex Fridman, an AI researcher, who said that his takeaway from the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial was that fame is one hell of a drug was replied to by Musk, who said that he hoped that both Depp and Heard can move on now.

In the tweet Musk said, “I hope they both move on. At their best, they are each incredible.”

During the trial Musk’s name has cropped up several times. While text exchanges of Depp revealed that the actor wasn’t a fan of the billionaire, and nicknamed him ‘mollusk’, his ex-wife Heard made a very intentional confession during the cross examination about the SpaceX CEO whom Heard reportedly dated shortly after splitting from Depp in 2017, and then again for a brief period in 2018 before calling it quits.

The actress said that she met the CEO at the MeT Gala in 2016, after Johnny Depp stood her up at the event.

Heard revealed that since Depp’s team was not communicating with her, she had no way of knowing if her husband would be showing up at the red carpet event. When she found herself alone there, she saw another ‘gentleman’ aka Elon Musk, who came and introduced himself, and reminded Heard that they had met before, when Musk was accompanying his mother.

During the event too, Heard found herself sitting alone, as Depp’s place settings were removed after the organisers realised that he would be a no-show.

It was during this time that Musk and Heard started talking. "He seemed like a real gentleman … He was really nice. He sat at a nearby table and we got to speaking that night and eventually became friends," recalled Heard.

In 2018, Heard in an interview to The Hollywood Reporter had gushed about Musk and her ‘friendship’ with him. The actress had said, "Elon and I had a beautiful relationship, and we have a beautiful friendship now, one that was based on our core values. Intellectual curiosity, ideas and conversation, a shared love for science. We just bonded on a lot of things that speak to who I am on the inside. I have so much respect for him."

However, the court documents submitted in this case, alleges that Musk had a secret threesome with Heard and model-actress Cara Delevingne at Depp's apartment in Los Angeles in 2016, when the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean' actor was away in Australia.

Depp’s attorneys also claim that Heard’s relationship with Musk began before Depp and Heard called it quits. Musk, however, had refuted claims of threesome and said that he and Heard began dating after she and Depp filed for divorce.
