I'm not sure what he could be criminally charged with - neither he nor anyone else at the company sold stock and profited from his idiotic tweets. I believe you actually need to profit from manipulation in order for it to enter the realm of criminal.
They caused damage to short sellers when the stock price rose because of Musk's lie and they had to cover their losses, how is that not criminal? You don't have to personally profit to commit a crime.
