Elon Musk Misled Twitter Investors Before $44 Billion Buyout, San Francisco Jury Finds

Elon Musk Misled Twitter Investors Before $44 Billion Buyout, San Francisco Jury Finds

Elon Musk lost a securities fraud trial in San Francisco on Friday, his first major courtroom defeat in years. A jury found two of his tweets during the 2022 Twitter takeover misled investors, but rejected the claim that he schemed to defraud. Damages could top $2 billion. Nearly 40 prospective jurors were dismissed for bias before the trial even started, and Musk's own testimony included a two-word concession that may have sealed the verdict.

From Today's Analysis
“Meta reversed the Horizon Worlds VR shutdown in under 24 hours. But the real story is the institutional pattern: $80 billion spent, 200,000 users at peak, and a stock market that rewards retreat. The same playbook now drives $135 billion in AI spending.”

Meta's $80 Billion Metaverse Failed. The Playbook Survived.

Meta told Horizon Worlds users VR was shutting down on Tuesday. By Wednesday, CTO Bosworth reversed the whole decision on Instagram Stories. Under 24 hours. But the real story isn't the shutdown or the save. It's the pattern underneath: $80 billion in Reality Labs spending, a user base that peaked at 200,000, and a stock market that rewarded Meta for walking away. The same playbook now runs again, this time backed by $135 billion in AI capex.
