After Elon Musk was accused of defaming Ben Brody—a 22-year-old Jewish man falsely linked to a neo-Nazi brawl in tweets that Musk responded to last year—the owner of X (formerly Twitter) sat for a heated Zoom deposition where he repeatedly denied ever knowing who Brody was.
When Brody's attorney, Mark Bankston, asked Musk if he thought he ever did anything "wrong" to Brody, Musk replied, "I don't know Ben Brody."
"You're aware that Ben Brody is somebody who's sued you, right?" Bankston asked.
