The jury stated that Elon Musk misled Twitter investors while attempting to withdraw from the acquisition deal.
The ruling pointed out that Musk had tweeted that Twitter had a large number of automated accounts (bots), and that this tweet was the reason for his attempts to renege on his commitment to buy the company.
The jury's decision aligned with the facts mentioned in the lawsuit, which focused on the allegation that Musk's statements about the existence of numerous bots provided justification for his actions during the acquisition process. The statement was the subject of a trial and legal discussion, and the jury concluded that those statements misled investors.
