A jury decided Elon Musk didn’t deceive investors with his 2018 tweets about electric automaker Tesla in a proposed deal that quickly unravelled and raised questions about whether the billionaire had misled investors.The verdict by the nine jurors was reached after less than two hours of deliberation following a three-week trial. It 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 centre of the trial.Musk, 51, wasn't on hand for the brief reading of the verdict, after making a surprise appearance earlier on Friday for closing arguments that drew starkly different portraits of him.
