Jury finds Elon Musk liable for misleading Twitter investors during 2022 acquisition
A San Francisco jury found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price during his 2022 acquisition of the company for $44 billion. The jury awarded shareholders damages of $3-8 per stock per day, totaling approximately $2.1 billion, but absolved Musk of scheming to defraud investors. The case centered on Musk's tweets and statements in May 2022, including one saying the Twitter deal was 'temporarily on hold.'
