Elon Musk Convicted Of Fraud Over Twitter Purchase Manipulation Anonymous (ID: myWS05Hu) 03/20/26(Fri)19:47:13 No.531231920 Archived

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal jury found Elon Musk liable on Friday for claims he defrauded Twitter shareholders by trying to drive down the social media company's stock price so he could renegotiate or back out of a $44 billion takeover in 2022.
The verdict from a jury in San Francisco federal court came in a closely watched civil trial where Musk, the world's richest person, was accused of falsely claiming on social media that Twitter underreported how many fake and spam accounts, known as bots, were on its platform. Damages have yet to be calculated but Francis Bottini, a lawyer for the shareholders, estimated they could total about $2.5 billion.
"Musk's status as the world's richest man is not a free pass," Bottini said in a statement. "If you're able to move markets with your tweets you're responsible for the harm you cause to investors."

It was riddled with bots. Back in 2022 if you tweeted "metamask" you would get a dozen Indian accounts replying immediately with urls trying to steal your crypto

It's funny to imagine a pissed off working class juror who's legally obligated to sit around for weeks listening to billionaires demand billions of dollars from one another while he's lucky to even be compensated for his time.

Fascist private security from his personal paramilitary organization. No, really. Just like the Russian oligarchs.
