Elon Musk settles with the SEC for $1.5 million after years-long dispute over his Twitter investment

Elon Musk agreed to a $1.5 million settlement with the SEC over his delayed disclosure of a large Twitter stake.

The SEC said Musk waited 11 days too long to report that he had crossed the 5% ownership threshold.

If a court approves the deal, the regulator will drop the case.

The settlement ends a high-profile regulatory dispute tied to Musk’s Twitter takeover.
