- Tesla, SEC settle fraud lawsuit
Elon Musk has been hailed as a visionary. He has also been called a rule breaker. And this weekend, the Securities and Exchange Commission seemed to agree.
On Thursday, the SEC sued Musk for what might be the most expensive tweet ever posted. Just two days later, the two sides arrived at a settlement: The company will pay $20 million, while Musk himself will pay $20 million more and will step down as Chairman of Tesla for at least 3 years, but will remain CEO.
Forbes’ Alan Ohnsman tells us that the most consequential part of the punishment involves the company’s board of directors.
