The Twitter habits of Tesla’s chief executive are apparently coming back under scrutiny, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asking a judge to hold Tesla CEO Elon Musk in violation of a settlement deal he reached last year that included guidelines for his Twitter usage. In short, company officials are supposed to vet the “material” information Elon releases via Twitter, which is why the SEC has zeroed in on one of his tweets last week — in which Elon said his electric carmaker would manufacture “around” half a million vehicles this year.
He followed that up with another tweet, clarifying that “deliveries” for the year are still estimated to total 400,000, though the SEC still blasted the first tweet in a court filing. “Musk did not seek or receive pre-approval prior to publishing this tweet, which was inaccurate and disseminated to over 24 million people,” the agency wrote.
