Elon Musk faces lawsuit over delayed disclosure of Twitter stake

Lawsuit seeks class-action status, claiming Musk made ‘materially false and misleading statements and omissions’

A Twitter shareholder is suing Elon Musk, claiming he and others suffered financial losses because of the billionaire's delay in disclosing his stake in the social-media company.
