Elon Musk has voiced his clear support for Russell Brand after the comedian shared a video on Friday night denying 'very serious allegations'. In the video, Brand claims he is the victim of a 'coordinated media attack' by a TV network and a newspaper, which have contacted him with 'stupid stuff' and 'very serious allegations'.
The Hot Tub Time Machine star clarified that the allegations pertain to a time when he was part of the mainstream media, as well as when he was promiscuous. He insisted that 'the relationships that I had were absolutely always consensual.' Brand also mentioned Joe Rogan, who has previously faced similar 'coordinated media attacks', as an example of this phenomenon.
In response, Musk tweeted the video with the caption 'Of course. They don't like competition.' His statement was met with hundreds of comments of support from fans who pledged to 'stand with Russell' and even suggested a podcast collaboration between the two.
Brand has not shared any details on the 'very, very serious' allegations, but he has said he has witnesses who can prove they are false. These allegations are expected to be explored in a special Channel 4 Dispatches episode airing on Saturday night. Rumours have been flying on social media, with some reports claiming that multiple comedians may be involved.
