Just saying that the tweeting of it out as "no safety issue" is probably not helpful.

Does Elon's statement about the journalist amount to libel?

Musk won
One of the smartest moves by Elon Musk's defence was in introducing the concept of "JDart", an acronym to describe their client's conduct on Twitter in relation to the infamous "pedo guy" tweet.A JDart, lawyer Alex Spiro explained, meant: a Joke that was badly received, therefore Deleted, with an Apology and then Responsive Tweets to move on from the matter. JDart.It's clumsy, for sure, but it meant Mr Spiro could offer the jury here a degree of structure around what before seemed senseless: Mr Musk may have acted foolishly with the J, but he soon "darted", which is how you know he wasn't being serious about the allegation.Expect the JDart "standard" to be applied again and again, not just in libel trials, but in any arena where social media behaviour is under scrutiny - a parachute for anyone who, in the heat of the moment, says something idiotic online.

Of course he won, he's a billionaire. He can do whatever the fuck he wants, including goosing the stocks of his own companies via tweets whenever its convenient.
Unless you are poor or marginalized, the age of consequences is over.

Smart lawyer, stupid jury. A sensational lie will always outrun a lame apology. As for 'responsive tweets', they may as well be dropped into the Mariana Trench.

SpaceX loses 40 satellites to geomagnetic storm a day after launch

Musk vs. The Sun, a battle royale
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 18:56 (two years ago) link
If I've learned anything from the film Geostorm, the only solution is to send Musk himself into space to repair the satellites, before he takes the fight to the sun itself.
