  • 6 years ago

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has incurred the considerable wrath of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reuters reports the SEC has accused Musk of fraud and wants to ban him as a director of a public firm.
Musk allegedly made a series of “false and misleading” tweets about potentially taking Tesla private.
On August 7th, Musk tweeted he might take Tesla private at $420 per share, and that there was “funding secured.”
However, he had never discussed such a transaction with any funding source.
