Elon Musk, a prominent businessman and friend of President-elect Donald Trump, is at the center of SEC's attention due to his actions during the purchase of Twitter shares.

Elon Musk's Conflict with the SEC

The SEC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in a Washington, D.C. federal court, claiming he missed the deadline for filing mandatory documents while acquiring a stake in Twitter in 2022. According to the SEC, this delay led to shareholder losses exceeding $150 million.

The Future of the SEC under Trump's Administration

Donald Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, a known critic of strict regulation, to lead the SEC. However, the final decision in Elon Musk's case remains with the SEC commissioners, and Trump's influence does not guarantee a change in the case's course.

A Prolonged Legal Battle

The case against Elon Musk has been prolonged due to his actions and the slow pace of the process. Despite attempts to delay the proceedings, the SEC remains determined to hold Musk accountable for the alleged violations. It's noteworthy that the fine amount the SEC demands from Musk reaches a record $200 million.

The situation between Elon Musk and the SEC remains tense, and its development will be closely monitored in both legal and political circles.
