The plaintiff is seeking sanctions against Musk’s lawyer, who allegedly behaved “in the most obnoxious manner one could contemplate without crossing into parody.”
for sanctions filed Monday, Benjamin Brody accuses Spiro of representing Musk in Texas without credentials in the state and behaving in an “astonishingly unprofessional” manner during a deposition in March.
The filing claims that Spiro repeatedly interjected during the questioning, called the case “stupid,” and jeeringly told the plaintiff’s counsel, “I know this is your big day in the sun. You're running out of time.” Some of the crackpot investigators then claimed that Brody’s supposed involvement was proof of a “false flag” conspiracy. Musk interacted with multiple posts about Brody. For instance, hein response to an article about the 22-year-old: “Looks like one is a college student and another is maybe an Antifa member, but nonetheless a probable false flag situation.”
In Musk’s deposition, which Spiro pushed to keep confidential, he conceded that he did not research Brody on his own before publicly speculating on his involvement. But he downplayed the effect of his tweet to his 145 million followers, saying, “People are attacked all the time in the media, online media, social media, but it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on their life.”Monday’s motion emphasized that Musk has previously admitted to posting impulsively on X.
