San Francisco, January 30
In a big first round win for Indian-American student and Tesla critic Randeep Hothi, a US court has rejected Elon Musk’s argument against him.
Hothi had sued Musk, claiming that the accusation made by the Tesla CEO that he “almost killed” his factory employees is defamatory.
A judge in California state has now rejected Musk’s argument that the suit filed by Hothi was baseless and against his free speech. The judge said Hothi has shown that he can win the lawsuit, according to media reports.
A doctoral candidate in Asian languages and cultures at the University of Michigan, Hothi created the @skabooshka Twitter account where he fact-checked Musk and Tesla’s “published claims regarding the electric vehicle manufacturer’s automation, technology and production processes,” www.courthousenews.com had reported in August last year.
