The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's early Twitter stake, according to a letter the agency sent to him in April

WASHINGTON, May 27 - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's disclosure of his stake in Twitter IncIn the letter, now made public by the SEC, the regulator asks Musk why it appears he did not file required paperwork within 10 days of the acquisition, and also questions why, when Musk did disclose his stake, he used a form meant for passive investors while he was openly questioning Twitter's policies around free speech.

Specifically, the SEC asked Musk to explain why he opted to initially file a "13G" disclosure form, which is meant for investors who plan to hold their shares passively instead of a "13D" form, which is for activist investors who intend influence management and policies of the company. He later amended the filing.

Separately, Twitter said in a filing Friday it was not accepting the resignation of Egon Durban, a Musk ally, from its board. Two days earlier, Twitter shareholders had blocked his re-election, but the company said he brought "unparalleled operational knowledge of the industry" and instead he would reduce his board roles elsewhere.

Elon Musk revises Twitter financing plan to include more equityElon Musk has revised the financing plan for his proposed $44 billion purchase of Twitter, raising investor hopes that the unpredictable billionaire still intends to pull off a deal. ... because there's nothing like raising investors' hopes than uncertainty. 🤦‍♂️ The BBC just reported that an investor has just filed a class action suit against Musk and Twitter for market manipulation. The claim is Musk's conflicting messages are a deliberate attempt to de-value Twitter stock in order to purchase Twitter at a discount.
