Elon Musk was sued on Tuesday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for having failed to timely disclose purchasing more than 5% of Twitter's common stock in March 2022. In a complaint filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the SEC said the delay allowed Musk to continue buying Twitter shares at artificially low prices, allowing him to underpay by at least $150 million. The SEC wants Musk to pay a civil fine and disgorge profits he was not entitled to. Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Musk, in an email said: "Mr. Musk has done nothing wrong and everyone sees this sham for what it is." An SEC rule requires investors like Musk to disclose within 10 calendar days when they cross a 5% ownership threshold.
