The SEC has accused Elon Musk of violating the terms of his settlement with the agency.

\n\nThe Securities and Exchange Commission\u0027s allegation that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is in contempt of the federal court that approved a settlement between Musk and the agency is highly unusual, former SEC senior counsel Thomas Gorman told Business Insider.\nIt\u0027s particularly rare for the SEC to bring contempt proceedings against a corporate executive, rather than the operator of an illegal enterprise like a Ponzi scheme, Gorman said.

The settlement also required Tesla to monitor Musk\u0027s communications, including on platforms like Twitter.\nBut in the months after the settlement, Musk took aim at the SEC, saying in an interview with \u002260 Minutes\u0022 that he didn\u0027t respect the agency. And, on February 19, Musk tweeted a projection about Tesla\u0027s 2019 vehicle production that exceeded what the automaker had said in its most recent earnings letter.

SEC Asks Manhattan Federal Court to Hold Elon Musk in ContemptThe Securities and Exchange Commission says in a court filing that a Feb. 19 tweet regarding projected production volumes in 2019 violated terms of a prior settlement. I think Musk is just another BIG OBAMA HOAX. Obama gave $5 Billion of tax payer dollars to Tesla, then Musk gave Europeans free cars. So Americans got nothing and our money was used to pay back Europeans for buying Teslas. It's the Obama way.
