In the book of Job of the bible why is Elihu not guilty before God?

Job's three friends Eliphas the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite were gulity before God because of what they said to Job. How is Elihu not guilty before God? What did he say that was different from the others and considered right before God?

Job 42:7 - 9

ESV - 7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
