The verdict centers on tweets Musk posted during the $44 billion buyout process that the jury determined were deliberately misleading to investors. The case stems from a class-action lawsuit filed by Twitter shareholders who alleged that Musk’s social media posts during the acquisition period provided false or misleading information that affected their investment decisions.
