The story of Elon Musk’s Path Of Exile controversy is pretty bizarre. Musk, the wealthiest man on the planet and a major supporter of president-elect Donald Trump, often brags about his gaming prowess on X/Twitter, the social media company he acquired for $44 billion in 2022.

Elon Musk was sued on Tuesday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which accused the world's richest person of waiting too long to disclose in 2022 he had amassed a large stake in Twitter,

Elon Musk is being sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over his 2022 Twitter takeover. The agency alleges that the billionaire failed to disclose his ownership of Twitter stock in a timely manner, saving himself at least $150 million “at the expense of shareholders.”

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sued Elon Musk, alleging that the billionaire failed to disclose his acquisition of Twitter stocks within the legally required timeframe in 2022. The most surprising aspect of this lawsuit is that it took so long to arrive.

Regulators filed a lawsuit in federal court stemming from Mr. Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the social media company now called X.

The lawsuit accused Musk of misleading shareholders by not reporting his 2022 investment in the social-media company in a timely manner.

According to the SEC complaint, Musk didn’t follow disclosure rules, “allowing him to underpay by at least $150 million for shares he purchased after his financial beneficial ownership report was due.

Twitter's stock price rose 27 percent once Musk belatedly disclosed his stake, the lawsuit said. "During the period that Musk was required to publicly disclose his beneficial ownership but had failed to do so, he spent more than $500 million purchasing additional shares of Twitter common stock," it said.

Elon Musk is being sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, claiming he didn't disclose purchases of Twitter stock in 2022 immediately, allowing him to underpay.

The financial regulator wants Musk to pay a civil penalty and remedies over alleged “unjust enrichment” ahead of his 2022 purchase of the social network.
