A “Controlling” Elon Musk Reportedly Bugged Ex-Girlfriend Amber Heard’s Tesla

Apparently it isn’t just his employees that Elon Musk likes spying on.

A new report from the Daily Mail out Wednesday claims that Musk gave his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard a Tesla “fitted with a bugging device”. The same report says that Heard’s mother preferred Johnny Depp to Musk, who she called “controlling”. 

The report cites Jennifer Howell, who claims to be a close friend of Amber Heard’s younger sister, Whitney Henriquez. She worked as her boss between 2014 and 2016 and also got to know Heard’s mother, Paige. Howell says that Heard’s mother unearthed “extraordinary secrets” about Amber’s relationship with the Tesla CEO. 

Howell said in a sworn statement days ago: “Paige shared with me while I was visiting Whitney that Elon Musk had gifted a Tesla or multiple Teslas (not sure if it was one or more), but Amber found out that they were ‘bugged’.”

She also said that Heard’s mom called Musk “controlling” and expressed her preference for Depp, who she called a “saint”, over Musk. Howell said she heard the claims while visiting Henriquez in 2019 after the birth of Henriquez’s son. 

Additionally, Howell stated: “Paige also told me the reason Johnny and Amber broke up was because Amber was violent and emotional and loved Johnny so much that she could not control it. I was indeed taken aback because this conversation occurred after the divorce and when Hunter was only a few months old, and I was at Whitney’s house.”

She continued in her sworn statement: “Whitney told me that Amber and Johnny were still in touch and that they were each other’s true loves or something to that exact sentiment. Whitney was still going through the emotions of having had a baby and all of those ups and downs, and I could not believe that Amber and Johnny’s relationship was being discussed while Whitney was the one who needed to be the focal point and needed our support.”

Heard’s younger sister, Henriquez, disputes the statements, calling them “bizarre” and “complete fiction”. Both Heard and her sister are reportedly upset that the claims are being attributed to their mother, who died in May at the age of 63. Sources close to Musk called the report “pure fantasy land”. 

Representatives for Amber Heard said: “Jennifer Howell’s statements do not bear any relationship to the truth and I have no idea why she is saying this.”
