A jury has found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price in the tumultuous months leading up to his 2022 acquisition of the social media company for $44 billion. But it absolved him of some fraud allegations, finding that he did not "scheme" to mislead investors.

Believe it or not, everyone who you disagree with or misunderstand is not "trolling".

There is no reason they couldn't assess fines a different way...

Certainly the fines were sufficiently sized in the 90s era when they dropped the hammer on Microsoft.
