The settlement specified governance changes, including Musk’s ouster as board chairman, as well as pre-approval of his tweets.

The commission confirmed that it issued administrative subpoenas while investigating whether Musk and Tesla are complying with disclosure controls in the 2018 agreement.

Elon Musk buys large stake in TwitterNEW: Elon Musk has bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, according to a regulatory filing released today. He criticized the company last month for 'failing to adhere to free speech principles.' So he’s gonna let Racists, bigots, psychopaths, and propaganda bots run amok on Twitter? Is that where we are? Well, looks around, this used to be a decent place. He bought Twitter because it is stifling free speech. He obviously understands the power of brand recognition, or else he would have lounged a new social media platform. I applaud Elon, and support him in canceling the cancel culture.😂
