SEC Accuses Elon Musk of Failing to Disclose Twitter Stock Purchases

a year ago

Earlier this week, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging he violated federal law by not disclosing his stakes in Twitter on time.

Legal Requirements

Under US law, any investor holding more than 5% of a company's stock is required to report this to the SEC within 10 days. Musk was supposed to meet this deadline by March 24, 2022, but the SEC claims he failed to do so, allowing him to continue purchasing shares at lower prices.

Market Implications

Musk's failure to disclose his involvement in Twitter allowed him to buy more company stock at lower prices. This also harmed other shareholders who sold their stocks without knowing the extent of his stake.

Timeline

Elon Musk began actively buying Twitter stock by mid-March 2022, acquiring more than 5% ownership in the company. Between March 25 and April 1, he continued purchasing stocks totaling over $500 million.

The SEC's lawsuit highlights the importance of compliance with disclosure laws to prevent market manipulation and protect investor interests.
