DETROIT (AP) — Elon Musk's lawyer says a federal judge would trample on the Tesla CEO's free speech rights if he ordered Musk to stop talking about 2018 tweets saying he had the funding to make Tesla a private company.

In a court document filed Wednesday, lawyer Alex Spiro says a motion from a group of Tesla shareholders seeking a gag order doesn't establish that Musk's comments will prejudice the pool of jurors who may hear the case.
