A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday upheld a jury's verdict clearing Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his company of liability over allegations they misled investors when the billionaire posted on social media in 2018 that he had "funding secured" to take the electric car company private. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments by lawyers for Tesla investors that the instructions jurors received on the law from the judge presiding over the case before they delivered their verdict in February 2023 were flawed, warranting a new trial. Lawyers for Tesla shareholders argued the jury instructions were confusing and impermissibly heightened their burden of proof by requiring them to establish Musk knowingly made false statements when he wrote his posts on Twitter, the platform now known as X following Musk's $44 billion acquisition of it in 2022...

Continue ReadingTesla (TSLA) stock is soaring after former President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. While CEO Elon Musk was a vocal supporter of Trump, the President-elect has not expressed the same enthusiasm for the electric vehicle industry. "It's interesting because there's a lot of government help or regulation or incentive all pushing the electric vehicle transition, and Tesla's absolutely benefited from that. But we also know that Donald Trump doesn't necessarily support that thinking," iSeeCars.com Executive Analyst Karl Brauer told Yahoo Finance. Brauer notes that a "government-led transition to EVs" is not a concept that Trump has embraced. He points to the broader EV market beyond Tesla, noting that other stocks in the sector are not experiencing the same rally as Tesla.

Moving forward, Brauer believes that Trump's policy regarding EVs may hurt the sector, including Tesla.
