Amber Heard is facing a legal battle with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, and Elon Musk was among the prominent names dragged into this case.

Depp and Heard are battling over a 2018 op-ed the actress wrote for the Washington Post, calling herself a domestic violence survivor.

The piece did not mention Depp by name, but the actor claimed he was booted from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise due to the "clear implication" that he was the abuser in his ex-wife's op-ed.

The Tesla CEO was included in Heard's list of 80 possible witnesses she earlier wanted to call upon to back up her story of being beaten and abused by her ex-husband. However, Musk declined to appear at the trial.

Depp's camp has accused Heard of having "extra-marital affairs" with Musk and James Franco. They reportedly showed footage of the actress having late-night "meetings" with Franco and Musk to the jury.

According to Marca, the black and white videos wherein Heard was seen getting into an elevator with Franco and Musk on separate occasions were shown to the jury.

Heard has already confirmed that Franco was the one recorded in the elevator with her on May 22, 2016. However, she claimed they were only talking, and the actor was asking her what had happened to her face.

When it comes to Musk, Heard said in a 2020 statement that the Tesla CEO did not visit her in their apartment in 2015 while Depp was away. The actress said she did not have any "illicit relationships," and she was not in touch with the SpaceX founder until the following year.

Musk echoed what Heard claimed and said that he and the actress started going out about a month after Heard's divorce filing. After both sides gave their closing statements last week, the world's richest man shared his thoughts about the trial.

Responding to podcast host Lex Fridman, Elon Musk tweeted: "I hope they both move on... At their best, each of them is amazing."
