Elon Musk offered to "arrange 24/7 security" for actress Amber Heard in 2016, according to texts read in a London court on Tuesday.
The High Court in London heard that Musk made the offer after Heard told him that she wanted a restraining order against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, after alleging he was violent toward her during their marriage. She received a temporary restraining order against him in 2016.
Depp has accused Heard of having affairs with Musk and actor James Franco. Heard denies having an affair with anyone.

Heard also denies that Musk visited her in 2015 while then-husband Depp was away, telling the High Court that she only met Musk the following year.
According to the BBC, Depp's lawyer, Eleanor Laws QC, read out the texts sent on May 22, 2016, between Heard and Musk, in which Heard told Musk she wanted a restraining order against Depp.
Thes texts came a day after an alleged incident at Heard and Depp's LA home. Heard says that Depp became violent and threw his phone at her, leaving marks on her face. Depp denies the accusations.
In relation to the offer of "24/7 security," the texts from Musk to Heard said: "The offer would stand, even if you never wanted to see me again... anyway, sorry for being an idiot. The radio silence hurts a lot. It only matters because I really like you."
Laws also cited a statement from Alejandro Romero, who was the concierge at the Eastern Columbia Building, where Depp and Heard lived.
Romero said that he saw Musk visiting Heard "when Mr. Depp was in Australia."
"From March 2015 onwards, Ms. Heard was visited regularly late at night, at around 11 p.m. to midnight, by Mr. Elon Musk," Romero said in his written statement.
Heard denies this and told Laws that Romero was "wrong." Heard said she didn't speak to Musk until 2016 and denied that she was in a "relationship or seeing" Musk during the dates Romero and Laws suggested.
Laws also questioned Heard over the allegation of an affair with Franco, which Heard denies.
Laws showed CCTV footage of Heard and Franco together in an Eastern Columbia Building elevator on May 22, 2016 — the same day as the texts between Musk and Heard — at 11 p.m. PT. Shortly after, the footage showed them travel back upstairs with Franco.
Heard confirmed that the people in the elevator footage were indeed her and Franco, and told Laws that when Franco saw her face he said: "Oh my God, what happened to you?"
Heard said: "In those days, I didn't sleep much at night."
Insider has reached out to representatives for Musk and Franco for comment.
The case between Depp and The Sun started on July 7 and has so far included testimony from Depp, Heard, as well as from Depp's famous exes including Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis.
Depp and Heard first met on the set of the 2011 movie "The Rum Diary" and were later married in 2015. Heard filed for divorce two years later in 2017.
