Its made up bullshit.
> Musk can break every securities law
Owning twitter does not make someone immune to the law.
> could you imagine any regulator going after Elon if he reinstates Trump
Yes, even when Trump was President his friends were prosecuted and jailed, friends of Presidents regularly go to jail. Giving Donald Trump, a regualar citizen, a twitter account does not a provide you with a get out of jail free card.
If the SEC got an injuction against Elon tweeting, how it would manifest and play out would be very different depending on whether Elon owns twitter or not.
Currently, twitter have no interest in defending Elon and would fully comply with any injuction, ban Elon, and let him fight it out with the SEC and jsut go along with it. Whether Elon wins or not, he'd be banned from twitter for weeks/months until it was settled.
If Elon owns Twitter then they are not going to remove him until every legal avenue has been exhausted. Both Twitter and Elon personally would be fighting the injunction. They would fight every point and, even if they knew they'd lose, throw up any delaying action they could just to keep Elon on Twitter for longer.
Basically: Independant Twitter: Elon is silenced for months while the courts thrash it out Elon Twitter: Elon is very vocal for months while the courts thrash it out
And that is ignoring the possibilty of Elon manipulating the world and using twitter to manipulate the court case (which we've already seen him try to do). Imagine if he threatened to let Trump back on twitter and whip up anti-biden sentiment in the run up to an election? The SEC/Courts are meant to be politically independant, but in reality he might even get the SEC to back down completely. Something that would never be possible if he didn't own twitter and wasn't allowed to tweet.
This is not what the SEC do, thus the whole thing is a non existent hypothetical. But lets game it out anyway.
As 100% owner of Twitter, any remediation for failure to comply with the injuction would fall on Elons shoulders. Be it monetary sanctions or even imprisonment.
Independant Twitter: Elon is silenced for months while the courts thrash it out -- Elon Twitter: Elon sits in county lockup for months while the courts thrash it out.

Threatened? Have you not been paying attention? Its basically nailed on Trump is back day 1. I see 0 correlation with Trump having a platform on twitter and anti-biden sentiment. If anything the greatest gift Trump recieved was his Twitter ban. Contrary to what you might hear, twitter is awash with anti-biden sentiment, pro-biden sentiment, anti-trump sentiment, pro-trump sentiment etc.
