Summary

The SEC has sued Elon Musk, alleging he failed to disclose a timely 5% Twitter stake in 2022, allowing him to buy additional shares at “artificially low prices,” underpaying by $150M.

Musk disclosed his stake 11 days late, after purchasing over $500M in shares, leading Twitter’s stock to surge 27%.

Musk’s lawyer called the case baseless, accusing the SEC of harassment.

This follows prior SEC investigations into Musk for alleged securities fraud and insider trading related to Tesla stock sales.

Musk denies any wrongdoing.

    ( E ) Trump pardons Elon after a $500 million bribe.

    And I mean bribe, like it would normally be illegal. But since he’s a Republican president, it’s perfectly legal

        Why? Trump has been told that he can do anything. Bribery is like peanuts to this guy.

        I’m betting he will straight up murder someone within his first year. Like directly. Not figuratively. Not through some sort of executive action.

        First degree murder.

        And every Republican will refuse to impeach him.

      More likely that conservatives just use it as “proof” that the deep state is attacking conservatives, and then use that as an excuse to further defund the FCC.
