Elon Musk takes witness stand in court trial over taking Tesla private tweet

If he didn't *want* people to believe it, why did he say it? As head of the company, he has a duty to be more cautious and responsible with his public statements lest he gets sued. If he doesn't know or the situation is unsure/unsettled, don't make a public announcement that can mislead people.
