SEC Sues Elon Musk for Delay in Twitter Stock Disclosure

a year ago

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging that the billionaire delayed disclosing his acquisition of Twitter Inc. shares.

SEC Lawsuit Against Musk

The case, titled *Securities and Exchange Commission v. Musk*, is docketed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges that Musk intentionally missed the deadline to disclose his acquisition of more than a 5% stake in Twitter early in 2022.

Allegations of Twitter Stock Manipulation

The SEC claims Musk delayed disclosure to buy Twitter shares at artificially low prices, resulting in an underpayment of at least $150 million. By March 2022, Musk held more than 9% of Twitter's stock. Federal securities law required him to disclose this within 10 days, but his filing was delayed by 11 days.

The SEC’s multi-year campaign of harassment against Mr. Musk culminates in this filing of a single-count, administrative complaint under Section 13(d) for allegedly failing to submit one form—a procedural issue that, even if substantiated, would result in a nominal penalty.Alex Spiro

Penalties and Musk's Political Ties

The SEC seeks court-ordered penalties against Musk, including the repayment of profits deemed to be unjustly acquired. Musk is also facing investor lawsuits accusing him of concealing his Twitter stock acquisition. Additionally, Musk has gained political prominence as a supporter and advisor to Donald Trump.

The SEC's legal actions against Elon Musk add another chapter to his complex relationship with regulatory entities and political figures, raising questions about his business practices and political ties.
