Elon Musk has said he supports Russell Brand over “very, very serious criminal allegations” which have been put to the former broadcaster by a television company and newspaper.
Brand, 48, posted a video on his YouTube channel on Friday night addressing claims he said had been made by journalists working for the “mainstream media”.
Mr Brand said he had received “two extremely disturbing letters” detailing “a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks” from a TV company and a newspaper.
He denied what he said were “astonishing” and “rather baroque” claims of a “serious nature”.
