The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday, saying he missed a 2022 deadline to disclose his large stock position in Twitter and was able to underpay for additional shares as a result.
Musk, who bought Twitter in October 2022 and renamed it X, had started amassing shares earlier that year. His ownership amounted to more than 5% by March, requiring him to file a disclosure report. The SEC says the report was 11 days late, allowing Musk to "underpay by at least $150 million” for shares purchased before he disclosed his stake.
