Elon Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of SpaceX, has been served a summons related to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit, according to a court filing on Thursday. The summons was delivered on March 14 to a security guard at SpaceX's Brownsville, Texas, headquarters. Musk has until April 4 to respond.
The SEC accuses Musk of violating federal securities laws by delaying disclosure of his Twitter stock purchase in 2022. Investors must report when they acquire 5% or more of a company’s shares within 10 days. Musk allegedly missed the deadline by 11 days, failing to disclose his stake by March 24, 2022. The delay may have impacted stock prices and other investors' decisions.
Musk later bought Twitter, renaming it X. The SEC's lawsuit argues that his delayed disclosure misled the market. Neither Musk nor his lawyer have commented on the matter, while the SEC has declined to respond to inquiries.
This legal battle adds to Musk’s history of conflicts with regulators. In 2018, the SEC sued him over tweets claiming he had secured funding to take Tesla private, resulting in a $40 million settlement and restrictions on his social media use.
As the April 4 deadline approaches, the case could have significant implications for financial regulations and Musk’s business empire. Investors and analysts will be closely watching for developments.
