Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal overruled a lower court order that compelled Texas-based Tesla CEO Elon Musk to sit for a deposition, and a 2021 Florida law is what tipped the scales in the billionaire's favor. A petition for writ of certiorari to Miami Dade Circuit Court was addressed in the appeal. The decision stems from 2018 where 18-year-old Barrett Riley and his passenger, Edgar Monserratt Martinez, died in a crash while Riley was driving a Tesla Model S at 116 mph on A1A in Fort Lauderdale, court records indicate.
