A US jury has found that Elon Musk misled investors during his 2022 takeover of Twitter. The verdict came after two days of deliberations in a San Francisco court. Investors said they relied on Musk’s public statements and tweets. The jury agreed that some claims about fake accounts and the deal status were misleading. The court said these statements affected Twitter’s share price between May and October 2022. Investor Brian Belgrave told the court, “I got screwed. I got cheated.” Musk had denied misleading anyone. He said people read too much into his posts. (PC: BBC)
