Judge Blocks Musk’s Twitter Escape | Dublin News

A federal judge just slammed Elon Musk’s bid to escape a jury verdict over his failed $44 billion Twitter buyout, ruling that his tweets about bots were misleading and harmed investors — and even slapped down his attempt to split the suing shareholders. While the jury cleared him on one tweet, they found him liable for another that actually hurt stock prices. The judge also rejected Musk’s wild claim that the jury was biased — pointing out they deliberated for days and even sided with him on some points. Plus, investors got a sweet bonus: interest on their owed money before judgment. This is a major win for shareholders, and Musk’s legal troubles over the Twitter deal are far from over.
