Elon Musk to be witness in Johnny Depp lawsuit

Elon Musk and other high-profile celebrities are expected to give evidence in a US lawsuit between Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

James Franco, Paul Bettany and Elon Musk feature on witness lists alongside representatives of the Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros and the Los Angeles Police Department.

Depp launched a $50million (£39million) defamation lawsuit against Heard in 2019, after she wrote an article in The Washington Post in December 2018, describing herself as a victim of domestic abuse.

The trial is set to begin on April 11 at the Fairfax County courthouse in Virginia.
