SEC Sues Elon Musk Over Delayed Disclosure of Twitter Stake Purchase
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing him of failing to promptly disclose his ownership of more than 5% of Twitter ahead of his acquisition of the company in 2022.
According to the SEC, Musk began purchasing Twitter shares early in 2022, surpassing the 5% threshold on March 14, 2022.
Under securities laws, Musk was required to disclose his holdings within 10 days, but he didn’t reveal that he owned 9% of Twitter until April 4, which was 11 days later than the legal deadline.
The delay in disclosure is said to have led to a 27% jump in Twitter’s share price after Musk made the announcement.
The SEC also claims that Musk’s actions resulted in an underpayment of at least $150 million for the shares he bought during that period.
The SEC is now seeking to have Musk repay the $150 million, plus additional penalties.
In response, Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, defended his client, insisting that Musk had “done nothing wrong.”
Spiro also accused the SEC of running a “multi-year campaign of harassment” against the billionaire.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
