Elon Musk’s Accusation of Harassment Countered by SEC
WASHINGTON—The Securities and Exchange Commission pushed back Friday on Tesla Inc.’s allegation that regulators are harassing Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk over his compliance with a 2018 regulatory settlement.
That deal focused on claims that Mr. Musk misled investors with a tweet in 2018 about taking the electric-vehicle maker private. The judgment required Tesla to preclear some of Mr. Musk’s public statements, including tweets deemed material to shareholders.
