陪审团裁定：埃隆·马斯克收购推特期间误导投资者
内容总结：
美国旧金山联邦法院陪审团近日裁定，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在2022年收购推特（现称X平台）期间，就平台虚假账户问题发表的言论构成对投资者的欺诈。这起集体诉讼由推特前股东提起，指控马斯克通过发布误导性推文故意压低公司股价，以图重新谈判或退出收购协议。
陪审团认定，马斯克2022年5月13日宣称收购交易因虚假账户问题"暂缓"的推文，以及后续关于平台虚假用户可能超20%的言论，导致推特股价大幅下跌，致使投资者蒙受损失。尽管马斯克在庭审中辩称相关言论仅是"个人想法"，并指责推特管理层在机器人账户数量上"撒谎"，但陪审团仍裁定其需承担赔偿责任。
目前具体赔偿金额尚未最终确定，但美联社报道称可能高达数十亿美元。根据陪审团计算，受影响股东每股每日损失约3至8美元。这已是马斯克完成440亿美元收购交易后面临的多起诉讼之一，此前他已就延迟披露持股信息、前高管遣散费等问题达成和解。此次判决标志着这位全球首富在收购风波中面临的最新法律挫折。

陪审团裁定埃隆·马斯克在收购推特期间误导投资者，其可能面临数十亿美元的赔偿。一群推特前投资者就马斯克在2022年以440亿美元收购该社交平台期间的行为提起联邦民事诉讼并胜诉。旧金山陪审团周五认定，马斯克在推特平台上关于虚假账户的推文对该公司投资者构成欺诈，但驳回了本案中的其他指控。
目前尚不清楚马斯克最终需承担的具体赔偿金额，但据美联社报道，赔偿总额可能高达数十亿美元。陪审员核算后认定，股东应获得"每股每日约3至8美元"的补偿。这起集体诉讼是马斯克收购推特后数月内面临的数起诉讼之一，起诉依据正是马斯克关于平台虚假账户的推文。诉状指出，在宣布以每股54.20美元收购推特后特斯拉股价持续下跌期间，马斯克通过推文和公开声明蓄意打压推特股价，试图重新谈判或退出交易。
诉状特别指出马斯克2022年5月13日的推文宣称因平台存在大量虚假账户和机器人，收购交易"暂时搁置"，以及数日后暗示虚假账户可能超过用户总数20%的言论。5月13日的推文导致推特股价大幅下挫。庭审期间据KQED报道，马斯克辩称这些推文是"表达真实想法"，并坚称推特高管在平台机器人数量问题上"撒谎"。而前推特股东则表示"在马斯克反复无常的公开表态中被迫以低估价格抛售股票"。
马斯克在440亿美元收购推特期间及后续面临多起诉讼，包括未及时披露持股情况引发的股东诉讼，以及前高管追讨未付遣散费的索赔（马斯克后续已和解相关索赔）。他还曾险些因试图退出收购交易而面临庭审。

Elon Musk misled investors during his Twitter takeover, jury finds
He could be liable for billions of dollars in damages.
A group of former Twitter investors have prevailed at a federal civil trial over Elon Musk's actions amid his $44 billion acquisition of the social platform in 2022. A jury in San Francisco found Friday that tweets made by Musk about fake accounts on the platform had defrauded investors in the company. The jury sided with Musk on other allegations in the case.
It's not yet clear how much Musk will owe in damages as a result of the case but, as the Associated Press reports, it could amount to billions of dollars. Jurors calculated that shareholders should get "between about $3 and $8 per stock per day."
The class action lawsuit, one of several brought against Musk in the months following his takeover of the company, cited Musk’s tweets about fake accounts on the platform. Facing a sinking Tesla share price in the days after announcing he would buy Twitter for $54.20 a share, the suit said Musk made tweets and statements that were intentionally meant to drive down Twitter's share price in an attempt to renegotiate or exit the deal.
The suit called out Musk's May 13, 2022, tweet that claimed the Twitter deal was "temporarily on hold" due to the number of fake accounts and bots on the platform, as well as one a few days later that suggested fake accounts might account for more than 20 percent of users. Twitter's stock dropped significantly following the May 13 tweet.
During the trial, Musk said the tweets were him "speaking his mind" and maintained that Twitter executives had "lied" about the number of bots on the platform, according to KQED. Former Twitter shareholders, on the other hand, said "they sold shares at deflated prices amid Musk’s public waffling."
Musk faced several lawsuits during and after his $44 billion takeover of the company. That includes other shareholder lawsuits related to his delay in disclosing his stake in the company, as well as one from former executives related to unpaid severance benefits (Musk later settled those claims). He also narrowly avoided a trial over his attempts to back out of the deal.
