Elon Musk, the CEO and Chairman of Tesla Inc, has been charged with violating the antifraud provisions of federal securities laws through misleading tweets made in August that a plan to privatize Tesla was imminent pending a shareholder vote. The statement allegedly caused significant market disruption, along with a 6 percent jump in Tesla’s stock value, and has led the SEC to seek a permanent injunction and bar to prevent Musk from taking on a leadership position in a publicly traded company, in addition to the usual civil penalty and disgorgement.
