The SEC requirement stems from Musk's tweets in 2018 that claimed he was taking Tesla private, which shocked the market and caused shares in the company to surge.

The SEC deemed the tweets "materially false and misleading," and in clear violation of securities laws.

At the time, Musk agreed to settle the issue with the SEC, which included his signing off on the so-called "Twitter sitter" provision.

NBC reports that Musk has since said the restrictions are unconstitutional and that he was coerced into signing the SEC agreement.

According to court papers, lawyers representing Musk have accused the SEC of waging an "ongoing campaign" against Musk.

Musk's legal team claim the provision , "restricts Mr. Musk’s speech even when truthful and accurate.".

It extends to speech not covered by the securities laws and with no relation to the conduct underlying the SEC’s civil action, Elon Musk legal team, via NBC.

In response, the SEC said in court papers that Musk waived his right to appeal when he signed off on the settlement.

Trump Says 'DEPORT WITHOUT TRIALS' | Critics Slam 'DICTATOR TALK' After Congo, Venezuela Claims

'Dirty Tariff Games' Played By Trump? Elon Musk Makes $36 Billions Moments After Tariff Pause

Trump’s sudden 90-day tariff pause sparked market chaos and a massive tech rebound. Elon Musk’s Tesla surged 22%, boosting his net worth by $36 billion. Silicon Valley allies, including Mark Zuckerberg, gained big—while Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio dropped $7 million. A Trump Truth Social post urging followers to “buy” right before the announcement fueled allegations of insider advantage and market manipulation. While the S&P 500 recovered $4 trillion in value, analysts remain skeptical about long-term stability amid ongoing China tensions. #TariffPause #Trump #ElonMusk #Tesla #Zuckerberg #Pelosi #StockMarket #MarketManipulation #TradeWar #USChina #TruthSocial #SP500 #WallStreet #EconomicPolicy #TechStocks #NancyPelosi #TrumpTweet #BuyTheDip #MarketFrenzy #EthicsInPolitics #MarketVolatility #SiliconValley #TeslaStock #Amazon #Alphabet #USPolitics #GlobalTrade #PeterNavarro #TrumpAllies #BreakingNews #EconomicImpact ~GR.124~HT.408~
