SEC :marseywallst: does a bit lawfare on the way out: "SEC sues Elon Musk for buying Twitter stock before buying Twitter"

U.S. securities regulators sued Elon Musk in federal court in Washington on Tuesday in an enforcement action arising from his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, now called X.

The lawsuit against Mr. Musk, who has become a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, is likely to be one of the more contentious final acts of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Gary Gensler, its departing chair.

The S.E.C. contends that in buying Twitter in 2022, Mr. Musk violated securities laws by amassing a large stock position in the social media company without filing the proper notification. The complaint said he had waited 11 days before filing the required disclosure with the S.E.C.

The regulatory filings are required so investors in the marketplace can monitor the moves of large investors and potential takeover bids.

Because Mr. Musk did not disclose his position, he was able to continue buying Twitter stock at an artificially low price, the S.E.C. said in its lawsuit. The move "allowed him to underpay by at least $150 million" for the additional shares before he belatedly disclosed his stake, the lawsuit continued.

Over the past few weeks, Mr. Musk had taunted the S.E.C. in posts on X about the potential for filing a lawsuit. In December, he shared a letter that his lawyer, Alex Spiro, had sent to the agency, rejecting a settlement offer in the case.

On Tuesday, Mr. Spiro denounced the S.E.C.'s latest filing.

"Today's action is an admission by the S.E.C. that they cannot bring an actual case, because Mr. Musk has done nothing wrong and everyone sees this sham for what it is," Mr. Spiro said in a statement. The agency had waged a "multiyear campaign of harassment" against Mr. Musk but filed "a single-count ticky-tack complaint," Mr. Spiro added.

This is the third time the S.E.C. has gone to court with Mr. Musk. The first lawsuit, during Mr. Trump's first term in office, arose from inappropriate market-moving posts on social media in which Mr. Musk mused about taking his electric car company, Tesla, private.

Before filing the lawsuit on Tuesday, the S.E.C. had also sought to force Mr. Musk to comply with a subpoena seeking to take his deposition.

With Mr. Gensler stepping down with the inauguration of Mr. Trump on Monday, it is unclear whether incoming regulators will pursue the litigation. The president-elect has said he intends to nominate Paul Atkins, a former S.E.C. commissioner and pro-business conservative, to succeed Mr. Gensler.

Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia Law School who specializes in criminal law, said the lawsuit appeared to be part of a pattern of cases filed by Biden administration appointees "on their way out."

It will be up to the new administration and Mr. Trump's appointees to decide whether to "back off and withdraw" cases like the one against Mr. Musk, he said.

The S.E.C. and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have filed a flurry of lawsuits in the waning days of the Biden administration. As with the case against Mr. Musk, it is unclear how these last-minute actions will fare under the new administration.

The S.E.C. filed the lawsuit against Mr. Musk on Tuesday after the close of business on the East Coast without the usual fanfare associated with a big case. The news release announcing the filing did not include a quote from Mr. Gensler or any other top official with the agency — a rarity for an action against a high-profile businessperson.

Mr. Musk has been by Mr. Trump's side almost every day since the presidential election. He is living all but full time at Mr. Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and club in Florida, and attending meetings and events with the president-elect.

Mr. Trump also appointed Mr. Musk as co-chair of a governmental task force that aims to come up with ways to cut the federal budget.

The S.E.C. has pursued its current investigation of Mr. Musk for years, beginning shortly after he announced in April 2022 that he had amassed a controlling stake in Twitter.

Although Mr. Musk initially said in an S.E.C. disclosure that he had planned to be a passive shareholder in Twitter, he quickly pivoted and made an offer to buy it outright for $44 billion. In July 2022, he tried to back out of the purchase, but the company sued to force the deal through. Mr. Musk completed his purchase that October, and later changed the company's name to X.

The S.E.C. has battled Mr. Musk to compel his testimony in the case. In October 2023, the agency sued him in an effort to force him to testify about his share purchases. Mr. Musk appeared for testimony a year later. The billionaire also agreed to pay almost $3,000 to compensate the S.E.C. for travel costs it incurred in sending its employees to take his testimony.

But in November, a federal judge in San Francisco denied the S.E.C.'s request to impose sanctions on Mr. Musk. The next day, in a post on X, Mr. Musk taunted the agency with a crude joke.

Mr. Musk's takeover of Twitter has been the subject of several lawsuits and investigations by the federal authorities. The Federal Trade Commission investigated whether X had the resources to protect users' privacy after he laid off much of its staff and after several senior executives responsible for privacy and security resigned.

That agency has also sought to depose Mr. Musk. Former Twitter shareholders have also sued Mr. Musk, accusing him of fraud in a case related to his belated disclosure of his stake in the company.

i work in a rv factory that has about 80 employees give or take & i work in the office so i have a radio to communicate with group leaders, swingmen, receivers, plant manager, & assistant plant manager.

anyways today, i called for a group leader to come into my office so he could speak to a vendor and the group leader responded with "ok you're pretty bossy" and then one of the receivers said, "she may be bossy but not pretty" and my jaw dropped.

im so embarrassed bc all the important ppl heard it plus the vendor that was in my office and now i can't stop crying at my desk and im ranting on here bc i have no friends here & im just so hurt lol

The LTT subreddit is like a glimpse into bizzaro world.

You ever get a weird feeling about someone? Like, you can't put your finger on it but you just know something is off? That's how I feel about this guy. I'm not saying that because of LTT. Even before, I never really trusted the dude. I understand he's sticking up for the community and he's doing good stuff. That's great. I'm just uneasy about him. I have no reason or proof as to why. I just am. Like a six sense.

Here we further witness Steve's descent into bad-faith reporting and the guilty-until-proven-innocent mentality.

The quote is taken out of context and makes no attempt to actually understand the rationale behind what was said. I understand that GN's carved itself a nice little hateful niche of consumer-focused doomerism (consdoomerism?), but it's getting out of hand quite frankly and it's extremely disappointing. I'm curious if LS or anyone from LTT will make a statement or even try to reach out to iron this out, though if I'm honest it's probably better overall if they don't...

I find the part where he mentioned Linus unnecessary and probably misleading as to what Linus actually said on the WAN show. To me his whole point was that they disagreed with a sponsor on their practices so they dropped them, practices that were allegedly somewhat known to others who also stopped the Honey sponsorships.

There was nothing that would indicate that consumers were also being deceived.

An NHS nurse in charge of a women's psychiatric unit has been banned after using racist slurs.

Jaden Rachel Dios Hole called a black colleague the N-word, claimed one worker would receive a sick note from a 'witch doctor' and asked a colleague if he was 'from the plantation'.

The remarks came within a list of offensive comments made by Hole between 2017 and 2020, a disciplinary panel at the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) was told.

Hole was co-chair of the Sussex Partnership LGBT Staff Network, which helps to safeguard the rights of gay and transgender staff at the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

On top of this, the nurse also worked as a ward manager at a women's mental health trauma unit in Chichester.

While apparently intoxicated, Hole called a black colleague 'my n*****' while they were on their way home from a team-building event, the NMC hearing heard.

Hole insisted to the panel that they had not meant to cause offence and that it was a reference to a Snoop Dog song playing on the radio in the car.

However, two staff members inside the vehicle at the time said they had 'no recollection' of the song being played during the journey.

The panel concluded that the remark was 'racially abusive'.

During a different conversation, when a black member of staff was off sick, Hole allegedly told colleagues: 'I wonder which witch doctor she was going to get that sick note from.'

The nurse also allegedly spoke to a colleague using words to the effect: 'Who are you? The man from the plantation?'

Hole has worked in psychiatric healthcare for three decades and was employed at the Sussex Partnership Foundation in 2014, their LinkedIn profile stated.

The nurse was suspended after colleagues reported their behaviour and they were referred to the NMC in May 2021.

Seven charges were then either admitted by Hole or proven following the NMC hearing.

The nurse's lawyer told the panel that his client had shown 'great remorse', adding that they had accepted their conduct fell well below the acceptable standard.

Part of the case was held in private as the defence were concerned the case would be reported as 'a trans-identifying man working on a psychiatric ward who is found to be impaired'.

A spokesperson from the Sussex trust said: 'When the allegations of racism came to light, we acted immediately to investigate.

'We are committed to providing inclusive and anti-racist healthcare services.'

Are y'all keeping up with this lawsuit ? 1.5 million for s*x is insane.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17368676922NBLo-At0Kckcw.webp

from the show Skip and Shannon undisputed filed a lawsuit claiming she was sexually harassed by Skip Bayless and that she rejected him and then he offered her 1.5 million for s*x and she rejected him again, and he continued to pursue her. I don't know what's crazier; the claim that he offered her 1.5 million for s*x or the fact that she didn't take it. Joy Taylor was also exposed for allegedly sleeping her way to the top of sports media and allegedly only got her jobs because she laid on her back. And of course the internet is already using this as proof women shouldn't be in sports media.
