In a recent ruling, Elon Musk was denied his bid to remove his “Twitter sitter” as per a legal agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC agreement requires Musk to seek legal approval for any posts he makes on Twitter about Tesla. This comes after Musk settled with the SEC in 2018 following his tweet about plans to take Tesla private, which was deemed misleading.
Musk argued that the agreement infringed on his freedom of speech, but the Supreme Court rejected his appeal. Despite this, Musk’s lawyers claimed that the agreement forced him to seek approval even for truthful and accurate statements, and subjected him to the threat of fines, contempt, or imprisonment for unapproved posts. In a separate filing, Musk quoted Eminem lyrics in a challenge to the settlement.
Musk has a history of conflicts with government agencies and has criticized the SEC in the past. He has also called President Joe Biden derogatory names and challenged Brazil’s legal authorities. Additionally, there is an ongoing investigation by the SEC into Tesla’s self-driving technology, which has faced scrutiny from regulators and has been linked to numerous crashes. Both Tesla and X have not yet commented on the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Musk’s appeal.
