Tesla (TSLA.US) founder Musk announced on social media X on Thursday that the USA Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a settlement request to Musk regarding the acquisition of X, formerly known as Twitter.
Regulatory Institutions have pressured Musk to agree to settlement terms, including fines, within 48 hours, or he will face multiple charges related to the acquisition of Twitter shares.
The USA Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating whether Musk engaged in securities fraud when he sold Tesla shares in 2022 and leveraged the acquisition of the social media platform known as Twitter at that time.
