Judge approves Elon Musk SEC settlement despite concerns over deal
A U.S. federal judge approved the settlement between Elon Musk and the SEC regarding his delayed disclosure of Twitter stock purchases in 2022. The judge expressed "significant misgivings" and "red flags" but stated the law limits the court's role in altering the deal. The settlement includes a $1.5 million civil penalty paid by a revocable trust controlled by Musk, with no admission of wrongdoing. The SEC dropped efforts to recover $150 million Musk allegedly saved from the delayed disclosure, and the judge noted no compensation for affected investors. The SEC case is closed, though sharehold
- $1.5 million civil penalty paid by Musk's revocable trust
