Closing arguments concluded Tuesday in a trial filed against Elon Musk by former Twitter shareholders. The investors say the world’s richest man engaged in a pattern of deceptive behavior that misled investors as he attempted to back out of his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform in 2022. The civil trial in San Francisco centers on a class-action lawsuit filed just before Musk took control of Twitter, which he renamed X, in October 2022.
