Elon Musk found not guilty of fraud over 2018 Tesla tweet

Elon Musk was found not guilty of fraud in a proposed deal to take Tesla private. The nine-member jury reached its verdict after less than two hours of deliberation following a three-week trial. The verdict represents a major vindication for Musk, who spent about eight hours on the witness stand defending his motives for the August 2018 tweets at the center of the trial.
