A California jury ruled that Elon Musk misled investors regarding his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter (now X), potentially exposing him to damages reaching up to $2.6 billion. The class-action lawsuit alleged that Musk, while attempting to purchase Twitter in 2022, made misleading statements. While cleared of some fraud allegations, the jury found him liable for misleading investors. An attorney for the investors emphasized the case's importance for average investors, including those with 401ks and pension funds, stating the lawsuit wasn’t about Musk himself, but the entire operation surrounding the acquisition. The original lawsuit was filed in October 2022, following the completion of the takeover at $54.20 per share.
