Elon Musk, the CEO and founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has slammed the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the securities regulator filed a lawsuit against the billionaire over the purchase of social media platform Twitter (now known as X). The executive called for a “comprehensive overhaul” of the agency, which claims he failed to testify in its probe relating to his $44 billion purchase.

A SEC abriu um processo contra Elon Musk enquanto investigava se sua compra do Twitter violava as leis de valores mobiliários. Uma ação apresentada em 5 de outubro pelo regulador em um Tribunal Distrital da Califórnia busca forçar o bilionário a responder a uma intimação anterior da SEC. O empreendedor comentou sobre o processo por meio de seu nome oficial em X, afirmando que não pode esperar por uma reestruturação completa da SEC.

“A comprehensive overhaul of these agencies is sorely needed, along with a commission to take punitive action against those individuals who have abused their regulatory power for personal and political gain,” Musk said.

Por que a SEC está investigando minha compra do Twitter/X?

Everyday it’s something different.

One week it’s the Biden Administration, another week it’s the SEC, and another week it’s someone else.

I’m literally just trying to protect free speech, build electric cars, and put… https://t.co/V5sVZniZZn

Quando outro usuário do X perguntou a Elon Musk se ele acreditava que a SEC algum dia seria reorganizada, o empresário respondeu, “I estimate the probability at 100%.” The billionaire believes that instead of probing his purchase of Twitter, it is the SEC and the Department of Justice (DoJ) that need to be probed. 

A SEC observou no ação judicial that it had subpoenaed Elon Musk in May 2023 to testify at the regulator’s San Francisco office on September 15, to which he initially agreed, but after two days, he “abruptly” notified the SEC he wouldn’t make an appearance while making several “spurious objections,” said the regulator. 

The agency also added that it tried to negotiate a proper time on another date for the billionaire’s testimony in “good faith” but met with the entrepreneur’s “blanket refusal.”

“None of Musk’s objections has any legal validity, and he has no justifiable excuse for his non-compliance with the SEC’s subpoena,” said the regulator.

De acordo com um relatório anterior da Bitnation, Elon Musk elogiou o candidato republicano pró-cripto para as eleições presidenciais dos EUA em 2024, Vivek Ramaswamy.
