Musk is 'a little off his rocker,' potential juror in Tesla shareholder case says

God, I love the headline the St.Louis Post-Dispatch used for this Reuters story...

Tweet from the Post-Dispatch first, then a direct link and excerpt:

SAN FRANCISCO — A potential juror in a case brought by Tesla Inc. shareholders over CEO Elon Musk’s 2018 tweets that he had secured funding to take the electric care maker private said on Tuesday that the billionaire was “a little off his rocker.”

The statement came as U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco attempted to select an impartial jury to decide whether Musk’s statement that funding was “secured” amounted to fraud and cost investors “billions.”

Chen homed in on a handful of panelists who said in questionnaires that they viewed Musk as “crazy” and “arrogant.”

“I think he’s a little off his rocker, on a personal level,” said one juror, referring to Musk’s management of Twitter, which he took over in October.

That juror and others have said they can be impartial.
