March 25, 2026 Media Coverage Armstrong Teasdale Partner Monte L. Mann was quoted in numerous publications on a jury verdict on Friday, March 20, which found Elon Musk liable for making misleading statements about bots on Twitter prior to his 2022 acquisition of the social media site. The suit was filed in October 2022 by former Twitter shareholders who alleged that Musk made the tweets to lower the stock price prior to purchasing the company for $44 billion. The jury also found, however, that he did not deliberately scheme to defraud investors. Speaking to the Associated Press, Mann said the verdict “sends a clear message—if you move the market with your words, you own the consequences.” He added, “When one person can move billions with a tweet, the consequences of those statements are amplified — and juries are starting to take that seriously.” A business trial lawyer in Chicago for over 30 years, Mann is a thought leader who appears as a legal analyst on business litigation in the national and international press. In addition, he is often asked for comment by some of the nation’s most influential voices on business litigation including Bloomberg Law, The American Lawyer, The National
