Elon Musk is facing legal trouble as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against him on Tuesday. The complaint alleges Musk failed to disclose that he had acquired more than 5% of Twitter‘s common stock in March 2022, a requirement under federal securities law.

SEC’s Allegations: Delayed Disclosure Cost Others Millions

According to the SEC, Musk’s delay in filing the necessary disclosure allowed him to continue buying Twitter shares at artificially low prices, saving himself an estimated $150 million. By keeping the market in the dark about his growing stake, the SEC argues Musk unfairly gained an advantage over other investors.

Filed in Federal Court

The complaint, lodged in a Washington, D.C., federal court, highlights the SEC’s claim that Musk violated disclosure rules designed to ensure transparency in the stock market. The agency contends that timely disclosure would have given other market participants a fair chance to act on the information.

What’s Next?

This lawsuit is just the latest legal challenge for Musk, who has been at the center of numerous controversies surrounding his business dealings and public statements. As the case unfolds, it’s likely to shine a spotlight on how influential figures like Musk navigate securities regulations.
