Un jury californien a jugé Elon Musk responsable de tromperie envers les actionnaires de Twitter lors de son acquisition en 2022. Le verdict, rendu le 21 mars 2026, conclut que des tweets de Musk en mai 2022 contenaient des déclarations mensongères ayant entraîné une baisse du cours de l'action Twitter. Bien que l'accusation de manœuvre frauduleuse délibérée ait été rejetée, les dommages sont estimés à 2,6 milliards de dollars par les avocats des plaignants. Les avocats de Musk ont annoncé son intention de faire appel de la décision. Le procès civil, qui a duré trois semaines, portait principalement sur les affirmations de Musk concernant le nombre de faux comptes sur Twitter.
