Tesla and Elon Musk face many legal fights beyond the SEC
Tesla and CEO Elon Musk are facing dozens of lawsuits and investigations, according to public filings.
Among Tesla's most recent legal woes, the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a motion to hold Musk in contempt of court. The financial regulators argue that Musk violated the agreementthey finalized with him and Tesla in October 2018 requiring the CEO to submit his tweets for review by the company's in-house counsel if they contained material business information and could potentially affect the company's stock price.
Beyond the contempt case, here are some of the other cases and investigations Tesla and Musk are facing that could most impact the company. By way of comparison, Greenspan says he found only 1 securities lawsuit against Ford Motor Company filed since 2016, and only 4 since 1996, although this does not include all Ford subsidiaries.
