On Monday, the Supreme Court denied Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk‘s appeal to get rid of his “Twitter sitter.” According to the terms of the Securities and Exchange Commission ruling, a lawyer will need to preapprove Musk’s posts related to Tesla on X.
The terms came in 2018 after Musk tweeted that he had funds to make Tesla a private company. However, no evidence of the “secured” funding was found. The SEC claimed Musk violated securities law, saying his tweets were “materially false and misleading.”
Since the settlement, Musk has tried to rid himself of his “Twitter sitter.” The lawyer in question has yet to be named. No person has stepped up to take responsibility for the role.
Last year, Musk also tried to modify the terms of the settlement. A federal appeals court denied his motion. Musk’s lawyers defended his bid by claiming their client’s Second Amendment rights were violated. Only three of Musk’s tweets have been investigated for SEC violations.
Musk also said he was pressured into the settlement and that the SEC had an “ongoing campaign” against him.
In March, a federal judge dismissed Musk’s lawsuit against hate speech researchers, calling the filing “vapid.” Musk claimed the Center for Countering Digital Hate violated X’s terms of service. The X owner also blamed them for a drop in tens of millions of dollars in damages.
Tesla’s board of directors has tried to get Musk’s $58 billion compensation package reinstated after a judge ruled that it was illegal.
