Elon Musk set the record straight after being accused of enjoying a ménage à trois with two mega stars.
The Tesla boss, 54, was alleged to have rolled around in the sheets with actress Amber Heard and model Cara Delevingne.
Rumours of this ‘three-way affair’ run rampant a few years back when Heard was in court fighting a defamation lawsuit waged by her former husband Johnny Depp, 62.
After a six-week trial, a jury found the Aquaman star’s op-ed in the Washington Post about domestic violence contained statements that were false, defamatory, and made with malice.
Pirates of the Caribbean actor Depp was awarded a total of $15 million in damages, which was subsequently reduced to $10.35 million.
Heard, 40, walked away with $2 million in damages in relation to her countersuit, despite losing the legal battle.
But before the jury reached their verdict, a number of depositions were carried out – and the ex-husband of Heard’s former best friend, Raquel Pennington, is among those who offered testimony.

Josh Drew claimed that he was previously informed that ‘Amber Heard was having an affair with Carla Delevingne while she was still married to Johnny Depp’, according to Page Six.
After being asked if the trio had ‘spent the night together’ and if they ‘were having a three-way affair’, he responded ‘yes’ both times during the deposition.
Musk dated Heard in wake of her divorce from Depp, but each of them have denied that there was any kind of crossover.
According to Drew, the A-list tryst occurred at a Los Angeles penthouse in late 2016.
However, Musk insisted that the allegations of him hooking up with Heard and Delevingne had no substance.
In a statement, the billionaire established the timeline involving him and Heard, while stating that he had ‘never’ been intimate with 33-year-old Brit model Delevingne.
“Cara and I are friends, but we’ve never been intimate,” Musk told Page Six in 2020. “She would confirm this.

“Also, I wish to confirm again that Amber and I only started going out about a month after her divorce filing,’ Musk added. “I don’t think I was ever even in the vicinity of Amber during their marriage!”
He went on to address the lawsuit that was ongoing between Heard and Depp at the time, saying he reckoned that the pair should forgive and forget.
Musk added: “I would recommend that everyone involved bury the hatchet and move on.
“Life is too short for such extended negativity. Nobody is going to say, after it’s all over, that they wished the court battle had lasted longer!”
A spokesperson for the SpaceX founder also denied the claims in a statement shared around the same time, which read: “Elon and Amber didn’t start seeing each other until May 2016, and even then it was infrequent,
“Their relationship didn’t become romantic until some time later.”
Musk, who has fathered at least 14 children, previously summed up his short relationship with Heard in one word – ‘brutal’.
