I&apos;m an attorney representing Mr. Brody.&#8221; Musk nonetheless insists that, in his opinion, Bankston is the one filing the lawsuit, and is &#8220;a lawyer seeking money&#8221;, making him the &#8220;real plaintiff&#8221;. Throughout the deposition itself, Bankston is continually interrupted by Alex Spiro, Musk&apos;s lawyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am going to interrupt again,&#8221; Spiro announces after several such interruptions, before asking how the tweet Bankston is referencing is relevant to the case. Bankston replies: &#8220;This is what he posted on the day of the brawl, and this case is about whether the brawl was being accused to be a psyop \u2026 Mr. Spiro, I really have to ask you to get yourself up to speed on the facts of this case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Spiro argues: &#8220;This isn&apos;t a real case, this is just some stupid\u2014&#8221; Brankston cuts him off.
