The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped a bombshell case against Elon Musk, accusing the billionaire of defrauding Twitter shareholders of over $150 million during his high-profile acquisition of the platform in 2022! 😱⚖️
🔍 The Shocking Allegations:
📌 Musk’s 9% Stake in Twitter – By March 2022, Musk had secretly acquired 9% of Twitter, surpassing the 5% disclosure threshold required under U.S. law. 🚀🐦
📌 Delayed Disclosure = Unfair Advantage – The SEC claims Musk deliberately delayed reporting his stake, allowing him to buy more shares at artificially low prices before the public knew. 📉💰
📌 Shareholders Took the Hit – When Musk’s stake was finally revealed, Twitter’s stock jumped 27%, leaving early sellers at a major financial loss. 📊💸

⚡ "This is a farce!" – Spiro slammed the SEC’s case as nothing more than harassment of Musk. 🚫
