Elon Musk may be behind nearly $1M in donations in Amber Heard’s name – Page Six

ElonMuskmay be behind a nearly $1 million payment to helpAmber Heardcomplete a hefty pledge following her divorce fromJohnny Depp.

As detailed in Depp and Heards ongoing Virginia libel case, the Aquaman star said in August 2016 that she would donate her $7 million divorce settlement to charity by splitting it evenly between the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.

But Depps attorneys have been trying to show that Heard has not followed through on her vow.

A video deposition from the ACLUs general counsel, Terence Dougherty, was played in court late last week, in which he said that the organization has so far received $1.3 million from the actress.

However, most of it did not even come directly from Heard. The court heard that the Drive Angry star, 36, paid $100,000 in August 2016, and then Depp, 58, made another payment of $100,000 in his ex-wifes name later that same month.

It is believed that a foundation said to be controlled byMusk a Vanguard donor-advised fund (DAF) anonymously donated $500,000 to the ACLU in Heards name in June 2107.

Then, in December 2018, a Fidelity DAF anonymously contributed $350,000 on the Pineapple Express stars behalf.

The last donation is not confirmed to be fromMusk the worlds richest man, who recently bought Twitter for $44 billion but he is the only known person to have anonymously donated on Heards behalf.

Musk, 50,has become a huge point of contention amid the exes legal battle, as Depp previously accused Heard of cheating on him with the tech mogul during their marriage.

Page Six exclusively revealed in the summer of 2016 that Heard and Musk were spotted spending time together at the Delano hotel in Miami.

Theydated until August 2017, and he later told Rolling Stone, I was really in love, and it hurt bad. Well, she broke up with me more than I broke up with her, adding he was in severe emotional pain following the split.

Heard and Musk reconciled their relationship early the following year but broke up again a few months later.

Reps for Depp didnt comment, and spokespeople for Heard andMuskdidnt get back to us.
