Then a jury ruled in Musk's favor, right?

The end result is left out every time the "court finds" articles are linked. The jury found the opposite, which is what actually matters.

The end result is left out every time the "court finds" articles are linked. The jury found the opposite, which is what actually matters.
The facts are not in dispute here. He tweeted "funding secured" and funding was not secured. He announced intentions to take it private at a given price, which did not happen.
He misrepresented the financial state of his company.
Luckily the jury had sense that the tweet was harmless in the end.
The judge ignored his stake in SpaceX he could have leveraged and mainly the Saudi Arabia firm that he was in talks with in taking Tesla private would not testify and then said the exact opposite:

So in the end it's do you believe Elon or the Saudis?
The judge sided with the Saudis.
Do you agree with that logic or do you trust the courts over your peers?
(ie. what "metric" would you use "for what constitutes truth"?)
Under that logic, maybe Musk is just another African American being persecuted by the US government.
We're all waiting on the edge of our seats to know what your ideal judicial system is.
Btw you've never had jury duty? Did you vote in a mob form? I sure hope not. I haven't.
No jury I've been on has functioned that way. Have you acted that way?
If you don't support a system of a jury of your peers determining your guilt, what do you support?
Have you served on an American jury?
