July 6 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Monday rejected Elon

Musk's bid to dismiss a recent jury verdict finding that the

world's richest person defrauded Twitter investors when buying

the social media company, despite finding that Musk was not

liable for one of his challenged tweets.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco also

denied Musk's motion to decertify the class of investors, and

granted the investors' motion for prejudgment interest.
