Lawsuit Highlights Ongoing Regulatory Scrutiny Elon Musk, the high-profile CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been served a summons by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a lawsuit centered on his delayed disclosure of a significant Twitter stake in 2022, a move that ultimately led to his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform, now rebranded as X.

The SEC contends that this late disclosure enabled Musk to purchase additional shares at lower prices, potentially saving him $150 million while impacting other investors ne...
