Story summary
  • Elon Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, is challenging the jury verdict that found Musk liable for misleading Twitter investors, alleging bias.
  • In a letter to U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, Spiro argues the jury's "4.20" reference mocked Musk and undermined fairness.
  • Although the jury rejected the main claim of a deliberate stock-manipulation scheme, it still found Musk liable on narrower grounds, and Spiro seeks a new trial.
