"Musk's direct testimony was an improvement over yesterday - even if his lawyer kept asking leading questions to cue him in how to answer."
"Even the judge, who at times prompted Musk to answer 'yes' or 'no,' was having a bad time. 'He was at times difficult,' said Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers after Musk after the jury left the room."
"Musk spent a lot of yesterday painting this heroic picture of himself, and this morning, near the end of his direct examination, said, 'I don't lose my temper,' and 'I don't yell at people.'"
"Savitt's cross-examination left the distinct impression that Musk was not only inconsistent but also difficult to engage with, raising questions about his credibility."
Musk's testimony included moments of improvement but was overshadowed by a challenging cross-examination. He struggled to provide straightforward answers, often refusing to respond with simple yes or no. The judge noted Musk's difficulty during testimony, emphasizing the management aspect of getting through it. Musk portrayed himself as calm, claiming he doesn't lose his temper, yet moments of irritation surfaced during questioning. His inconsistencies raised doubts about his credibility, leaving a notable impression on the jury.
