POST SCRIPT: Musk’s lawyers said that they will appeal the ruling. “We view today’s verdict, where the jury found both for and against the plaintiffs and found no fraud scheme, as a bump in the road,” the legal team at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan said in a statement.
Musk, who is an extremely active user of X, has not yet commented on the jury’s decision.
A defense facility in the Czech Republic linked to the Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems was set ablaze on March 20, 2026, in what is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism. A group calling itself the "Earthquake Faction" claimed responsibility for the arson attack. . .The company, however, has denied any ties to Israel, insisting its production primarily flows to Ukraine.
The Earthquake Faction, which describes itself as “an internationalist underground network,” posted a video purportedly showing the arson attack on an industrial facility in the Czech town of Pardubice on Friday, along with images of the burned-out building.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, no injuries were reported, and police said there was no danger to the public. Footage from the scene suggested the warehouse was destroyed and an adjacent administrative building badly damaged by the fire. Officials said the incident is being treated as a suspected terrorist attack.
The facility was operated by LPP Holding, a Czech arms manufacturer producing civilian and military equipment. The company has denied having any ties to Israel, insisting it merely considered cooperation with Elbit Systems in 2023, but it never came to fruition. LPP Holding noted that it has been supplying Ukraine with sophisticated drone systems, prompting local media to point fingers at Moscow over the blaze.
The Czech Republic, an EU and NATO member, is a close ally of Israel. Czech officials have supported US and Israeli military actions against Iran and condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks.
