Elon Musk's huge Twitter investment took a new twist Tuesday with the filing of a lawsuit alleging that the colorful billionaire illegally delayed disclosing his stake in the social media company so he could buy more shares at lower prices.

The complaint in New York federal court accuses Musk of violating a regulatory deadline to reveal he had accumulated a stake of at least 5%. Instead, according to the complaint, Musk didn't disclose his position in Twitter until he'd almost doubled his stake to more than 9%. That strategy, the lawsuit alleges, hurt less wealthy investors who sold shares in the San Francisco company in the nearly two weeks before Musk acknowledged holding a major stake.

The lawsuit alleges that by March 14, Musk's stake in Twitter had reached a 5% threshold that required him to publicly disclose his holdings under U.S. securities law by March 24. Musk didn't make the required disclosure until April 4. The lawsuit is seeking to be certified as a class action representing Twitter shareholders who sold shares between March 24 and April 4, a process that could take a year or more.

Someone doesn’t want free uncensored speech. Go Elon Go

Wow!❤️🦋💋😘

It's not illegal buying stocks.

A rich person breaking the law? Can’t be

✋😑 Apparently, laws don't apply to the Über rich.

I expect no repercussions as he's really really rich

Is anyone surprised ?

IshatReza Wealthy people are above the law.

bad boy, bad boy, watcha gonna do. Watcha gonna do when they come for you? The rich get richer by screwing over the little guy. Lock the SOB up.

colorful is not the word...

Of course he did… him and Donald Trump and Hillary has the evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop that she got from Putin. It’s true… Honest. It is. Ask Nancy Pelosi if she isn’t busy inside trading

He could buy the damn law. Probably make it too.

Of course ! Any successful businessman is automatically a criminal! fakenews

I am neutral on this however why should a man be punished for having the Midas touch. If we knew he was going to buy we would have bought too? What a weak kiss ass reason to attack. He is just a man not a god & makes mistake every day of the week, including attacking our country.

And so begins the attack by the Twitter mob and their left leaning comrades terrified of elonmusk ‘s ideas about free speech….

Cancel culture squad hates when someone makes an effort to protect free speech

They're trying so hard to find a way to get Elon off the twitter board. They're scared

Cuz he did. And for all his sycophants, he screwed you as well.

I love him , if you know him let him know

Shocking

BearsGrl80 Accused, no. He actually did break the law. But most people don’t know it, or most likely care.

The cathedral is shaking in its boots. It a glorious thing to see.

Wait! You're telling me THIS guy did something evil? The son of blood diamond (okay, emerald) mine owners?

Shocking

What are they going to do, arrest him? LOL

Or. How to Become a Billionaire: Criminal Edition. Elon Musk new book.

Didn't know being a dork arse was illegal

Democrats don’t like losing the media war. I am sure Elons lawyers will dispatch of this nonsense

The AP reporting this confirms they don’t want Elon is this position and ultimately his acquisition of the stock was a good thing. They are worried… hahaha

Oh? No way!!? Really? Get outta here.

Oops, CancelCulture is coming for Elon.

Shocker. Controlled opposition.
