Elon Musk says tweet at center of investor fraud case not ‘my wisest’

Elon Musk told a jury that a tweet he sent in the middle of his tumultuous move to buy Twitter Inc. in 2022 may not have been his “wisest” social media post, while denying he meant any harm to the platform’s shareholders.

Musk took the witness stand in San Francisco federal court Wednesday to defend himself against claims that he used his social media account to drive down Twitter’s stock price so that he could ultimately get a better deal for the company.
