SEC Sues Elon Musk for Failing to Disclose Twitter Stock OwnershipThe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging that he failed to timely disclose his ownership of Twitter stock in early 2022 before acquiring the social media platform. The SEC claims this allowed Musk to underpay for shares by at least $150 million. Musk, who bought Twitter in October 2022 and renamed it X, is accused of not disclosing his ownership stake of over 5% until April 4, 2022, eleven days after the deadline.
