That is also incorrect.
The settlement only mandated that Musk get company approval for Tesla-related tweets. It would have been as simple as him sending an email with the proposed tweet to get signoff before blasting it out there. This is actually extremely common and partially for these sorts of reasons.
The SEC asked Tesla if Musk followed the agreement by getting approval for the tweet. He didn't, thus this filing.
This is the unbelievable part.
"We agree to NOT do X, under penalty of law."
[Does X]
"Did you do X?"
"yeah lol"
Firstly, these people work for Tesla. They don't work for Elon Musk.
Hoping it's not just me, but there is no way I'm lying to the cops (corporate cops, criminal cops, federal cops, whatever) to protect my CEO. Especially if I'm directly asked "Did you* do X" (* where "you" means "Tesla CEO"). Double-especially in this case where the "X" is "not Y" and the person doing "Y" actively avoided you making sure they did "not Y".
If it's my job to make sure my Boss doesn't do something illegal, and he actively circumvents my ability to do my job, damn straight I'm rolling over to the Feds.
