Court Rules Musk Tweet Not a Threat

News summary

Elon Musk has achieved a significant legal victory as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision regarding his tweet that suggested Tesla workers would lose stock options if they unionized, ruling that it did not constitute an illegal threat. This ruling undermines the NLRB's authority to sanction employers for coercive statements on social media. Meanwhile, Tesla shareholders are appealing a jury's earlier ruling that cleared Musk of misleading investors over his 2018 tweets about securing funding to take Tesla private, arguing that the jury was misled by flawed instructions. The Ninth Circuit judges expressed skepticism regarding the investors' claims, noting that the jury was informed they could assume Musk acted recklessly. The shareholders' attorney contended that the jury instructions imposed an improper burden of proof on them. Overall, these developments highlight Musk's ongoing legal challenges related to his social media activity.
