Because he keeps going around saying that in public, there was a recent request for a restraining order to stop him from repeating it since it poisons the jury pool. It quoted the US District Court's ruling from 1 April of this year[0]:

"the evidentiary record demonstrated that no reasonable jury could find Musk’s tweets on August 7, 2018 accurate or not misleading. Likewise, given that Musk was intimately involved with the facts leading to that conclusion, the Court also held that he recklessly made the statements with knowledge as to their falsity"

Which is to say, a federal judge has ruled that it was inaccurate, and he knows it was inaccurate.

Actually, the judge just denied plaintiffs motion saying it's too broad.

First Amendment strikes again!

Right, he denied the TRO, but that doesn't change the prior ruling regarding the accuracy of the tweet. Also "accuracy of the tweet" is a horrible thing to have to be debating in a court of law.

I agree. The lawsuit is laughable and should be thrown out of the court.
