Elon Musk has been cleared of deceiving investors with tweets in 2018 over a proposed deal for Tesla that failed to materialise and has been estimated as costing them billions of dollars.
The verdict by the nine jurors was reached after less that 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.
