A jury found the Tesla CEO not liable in a shareholder lawsuit, but the case revealed a lot about Musk’s refusal to back down.

Elon Musk and Tesla were found not liable for investors’ losses after Musk tweeted in 2018 that funding had been secured to take Tesla private, in a class-action lawsuit that was much watched because of its high-profile defendant. It marked the second time in recent months that Musk appeared in court to defend himself as CEO of Tesla, at a time when the company’s investors have increasingly expressed concerns about Musk’s leadership.
