Lawyers who’ve taken Elon Musk to trial for securities fraud are worried he’ll go rogue when he takes the witness stand, by straying from court orders finding that his 2018 tweets about taking Tesla Inc. private were false.
The Tesla CEO is scheduled to testify as early as Friday at the trial in San Francisco. In a pretrial ruling the judge handling the case determined Musk’s tweets were false and reckless – and instructed jurors to “assume” the same.
