Elon Musk Seeks Secure Location For Videotaped Deposition In Child Custody Battle With Grimes

Elon Musk has requested a secure venue for his videotaped deposition amid his custody dispute with artist Grimes.

What Happened:  Given the public interest in both Musk and Grimes, there are heightened concerns about the privacy of the details that may emerge.

According to a report by Business Insider, the step was taken to prevent unauthorized information leaks.

Earlier this week, motions were submitted in the Texas case indicating that attorneys for the former couple are working to establish a schedule for Musk's videotaped deposition.

The filings mentioned that Grimes' legal team suggested conducting the deposition at its office. Musk's attorneys, however, opposed this, instead proposing a "secured location in Austin, Texas," to be privately shared with Grimes' legal representatives, the report said. 

Experts told Business Insider that Musk's request for a secure deposition location is not uncommon. Peter Walzer and Christopher Melcher, partners at Walzer Melcher, suggested that Musk likely has security concerns about conducting the deposition at a law office, where anyone with knowledge of it could attend.

The legal battle over the custody of Musk and Grimes' children has attracted widespread attention. The couple parted ways in 2021.
