Elon Musk breaks silence over Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial

Podcast host and MIT research scientist Lex Fridman took to his Twitter handle to share his takeaways from the ongoing trial where he wrote, ''My takeaways from Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial: 1. Fame is one hell of a drug (for some). 2. Psychiatrists & lawyers come in drastically varying levels of skill. 3. Lying to millions of people is something humans are capable of. 4. Love can be messy. 5. Mega pint of wine.''

Responding to his tweet, Musk shared a special message to Heard and Depp by tweeting, ''I hope they both move on. At their best, they are each incredible.''

As mentioned earlier, Musk's name was mentioned in the court proceedings multiple times as Depp had claimed that he had a relationship with Heard. Responding to the allegations, Heard recounted how she became friends with Musk after Depp stood her up at the 2016 Met Gala where the couple was supposed to attend as Ralph Lauren's guests.

Heard revealed that at the event, she ''sat next to an empty place setting for Johnny that they cleared as soon as we realized he effectively stood me up on the red carpet,'' After seeing Musk on the red carpet, Heard revealed that she did not immediately recognize until they 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," Heard said of their alleged friendship.
