Musk lost a bid to dismiss a defamation suit filed by a student of Indian origin in court

A US judge has rejected Tesla CEO Elon Musk's request to dismiss the defamation suit filed against him by Randeep Hothi, an Indian-American student and critic of the company. The lawsuit claims that Musk discredited Hothi from a technical editor, saying that Hothi "killed Tesla's employees". Meanwhile, Musk claimed that the lawsuit was unfounded and attempted to stop his free speech.
