Original Note:
Innocence is a component of criminal trials, not civil ones. In 2018's SEC civil complaint of this same case, Musk and Tesla did commit securities fraud and settled to pay $40M in fines with Musk losing the Chairman title. Musk has never been charged criminally. https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-226 https://www.theverge.com/23558736/elon-musk-securities-fraud-trial-funding-secured-tweet https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/presumption_of_innocence https://victimsofcrime.org/criminal-and-civil-justice/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/27/judge-quashes-elon-musks-attempt-to-end-sec-settlement-over-tesla-tweets/
