I hope they both move on: Elon Musk opens up about Depp-Heard trial

Billionaire Elon Musk recently shared his two cents on the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial. On Friday, podcast host Lex Fridman offered his takeaway from the defamation trial via Twitter, sharing five bullet points about fame, love, lawyers, lying, and wine. Musk, 50, later responded to the tweet, writing, "I hope they both move on." He added, "At their best, they are each incredible.”

Heard, 36, and Musk were first linked together in 2016. The two broke up in August 2017 due to their busy schedules but rekindled their romance in January 2018, only to split for a second time a month later.

During the trial, Depp, 58, had accused the Aquaman actor of beginning a romantic relationship with Musk "no later than one month after" she and Depp married in 2015. In the lawsuit obtained by People magazine, Depp claimed Heard received "late night" visits from billionaire businessman Musk at the Los Angeles penthouse Depp and Heard shared while the former was out of the country.

Depp went on to claim that Musk was granted access to his home the same night Heard "presented her battered face to the public." His lawsuit alleges Heard's domestic violence allegations against Depp were false and "an elaborate hoax." A rep for Musk maintained that "Elon and Amber didn't start seeing each other until May 2016, and even then it was infrequent. Their relationship didn't become romantic until sometime later."

Depp and Heard split in May 2016, when Heard filed for divorce and then sought a domestic violence restraining order against him. Depp denied her abuse claims, and the former couple settled their divorce out of court in August 2016.
