Elon Musk Loses Round One Vs Indian American Student Who Sued Him

Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk failed to turn the tables on a critic of the company who sued him for defamation. A California state judge rejected Musk's argument that the suit filed by Randeep Hothi was baseless and should be thrown out as an attempt to silence the billionaire's free speech.

Musk complained about Hothi accusing him of "almost" killing Tesla employees when he was trying to drive away from the sales center.
