Elon Musk, a well-known entrepreneur and founder of Company X, has admitted that his activity on social media, in particular on the Twitter platform, could cause financial damage to the company in the long run. He made this statement in response to a lawsuit filed against him for defamation.

Here's What We Know

The lawsuit filed by Ben Brody against Elon Musk has caused a lot of publicity and discussion online. Brody claimed that Musk had falsely linked him to a video of a fight between far-right groups in Oregon, which caused serious damage to his reputation.

Musk actively communicated with users who spread the conspiracy theory, claiming that Brody was part of a "false flag" operation. This led to the spread of this theory's popularity. Even if Musk claimed that his goal was not to gain financial gain, he admitted that it could have a negative impact on the company due to the lack of support from advertisers in controversial situations.

Additionally, Musk admitted that he owned a Twitter account under the pseudonym @ermnmusk, but he assured that it was not related to the main case.
