3:48 am
abortion. my abortion was to me the most hateful and yet the most loving thing i ever can. but i didn't know a thing about it. >> what you wanted to do was warn people about thalidomide. >> exactly. >> that had to have been a scary time. >> it was very scary. and i just heard on the radio yesterday where women here are being -- because of the trigger laws are being thrown out of their doctor's office. i know how that feels because you know what? 60 years ago, 60 years -- don't do the math. in august. i was thrown out of my doctor's office. out of the city and out of the state. >> reporter: after her abortion the tv station fired chessen, telling her she was no longer fit to be around children. they gave her another, less prominent show. but when she got pregnant again she was fired for that too. >> think of the irony, major. i didn't have a baby and i lost

3:50 am
it would have been impossible. i never, ever, ever would have had another child. >> i'm grateful. i'm grateful that my mother stood up to the state of arizona, to the united states, and found a way to determine what was best for her and her family. she's my hero. >> that was major garrett reporting. the "overnight news" is back in just two minutes. could be a sign that your digestive system isn't at its best. but a little metamucil everyday can help. metamucil's psyllium fiber gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down and also helps lower cholesterol and slows sugar absorption to promote healthy blood sugar levels. so you can feel lighter and more energetic. ♪ ♪ hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? ♪

4:19 am
launched by tesla investors sparked by a controversial tweet that they say cost them billions. here's cbs's john blackstone. >> reporter: as a ceo with rock star status, a builder of electric cars and rockets, and now the controversial owner of twitter, elon musk is a hero to some and a villain to others. but it was as a defendant that he testified friday in fal court in san francisco where he told the jury, "just because i tweet something does not mean people believe it or act accordingly." musk is being sued by tesla investors who say they lost billions when in august 2018 he tweeted, "am considering taking tesla private at $420. funding secured." >> you have a couple of tweets that are are as close to black and white as you can get. did he in fact have funding secured or not? so it's much simpler than the typical securities fraud case.
4:20 am
>> reporter: the investor lawsuit claims musk never did have funding secured, and the lawsuit suggests musk set the price as part of a joke, claiming "musk rounded the price up to 420 per share because he thought his girlfriend at the time, the singer known as grimes, would find it funny due to the significance of the number to marijuana users." >> 420 is a code for marijuana. could he say it was a joke, they shouldn't have taken it seriously? >> i think the flaw in that argument is it did drive the price way up. so clearly it appears that investors did take it seriously. >> reporter: one of those investors was glenn littleton, the first witness in the case, who testified musk's tweets cost him more than $3 million as tesla's share price soared and then dropped as it became evident that musk did not have funding to take the company private. in his opening statement tesla's attorney said musk had simply

used the wrong words in his tweet. >> what are the risks for him in testifying? >> well, ultimately this is going to come down to credibility. so like i said, we already know from the court this tweet is misleading. it's really what was his intent behind it. >> reporter: it will be up to the nine members of the jury to decide how much investors were harmed in the ten days after the tweet. but as more and more cars rolled off the tesla assembly line over the next years, the stock backing up the successful car company remained volatile, even hitting historic highs that can now complicate the legal dispute over losses. >> the big issue is how much were investor losses. and if you look at the longer term, tesla's stock price skyrocketed in the months and years after these tweets. so you could say, well, people who were misled by these tweets and decided to buy tesla stock ended up doing okay as a result. >> reporter: musk and tesla have already paid $40 million to the
