Supreme Court Upholds SEC Restrictions on Elon Musk's Tweets

The Supreme Court has rejected Elon Musk's appeal to overturn a settlement requiring pre-approval of his Tesla-related tweets, affirming lower court decisions.

The Supreme Court declined to hear Elon Musk's appeal, leaving in place a 2018 SEC settlement that mandates pre-approval of tweets about Tesla by a company lawyer.
Musk's legal challenges to the SEC agreement argued it violated his First Amendment rights, but the courts have consistently upheld the settlement.
The SEC enforced the agreement after Musk's 2018 tweet claiming 'funding secured' to take Tesla private, which was deemed misleading and caused significant market disruption.
Despite multiple legal attempts to overturn the agreement, all courts, including the Supreme Court, have found no grounds to challenge the SEC's conditions.
Musk's ongoing legal battles with the SEC have highlighted issues of free speech and regulatory oversight in corporate communications.
