A civil lawsuit is always about money.

To win money in a lawsuit you need to show damages.

As a shareholder, the damages would be drop in stock price.

Good luck convincing all 12 jurors that Tesla's stock price dropped because a few Tesla engineers did a code review of Twitter code.

Especially given that Tesla stock tends to go up, not down (recent beatings due to macro nonwithstanding).

Who said for free? Twitter pays Tesla which renders that service. That's as clean as it can be.

Uh huh. Let’s say Musk writes himself a check from Tesla for an extra $100,000. He cashes it, but the next day TSLA is up. No problems there? No legal risk?

Now let’s say that instead of a check, he gifts himself $100,000 of Tesla engineering time.
