Elon musk’s 21-day delay saved him $150m—now the sec wants payback

Why did the SEC’s acting chief cast the sole vote against suing Elon Musk? Inside the high-stakes legal battle that’s rocking Wall Street.

The Controversial Vote

In a closed-door meeting just days before Republicans took control of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January, five commissioners voted on whether to sue Elon Musk. The billionaire, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was under investigation for allegedly delaying the disclosure of his Twitter (now X) share purchases in 2022.

Four commissioners, including Republican Hester Peirce, voted yes to the lawsuit. The lone dissenter? Acting SEC chief Mark Uyeda, argued against the legal action.

The $150 Million Question

The SEC accused Musk of saving $150 million by buying more Twitter shares at lower prices before revealing his stake 21 days late—violating a rule requiring disclosure within 10 days. Uyeda and Peirce reportedly disagreed with the penalty amount but Peirce sided with Democrats to approve the lawsuit.

The probe dragged on as investigators dug into Musk’s intent. Musk claimed he misunderstood the rules and refused a third interview, forcing the SEC to subpoena him. A last-minute settlement failed after Musk publicly shared the SEC’s ultimatum: “Pay up in 48 hours or face charges.”

Legal Experts Weigh In

Some critics slammed the SEC’s timing, calling it politically charged. Others argued dropping the case would undermine fair enforcement. Meanwhile, Trump ordered a review of SEC investigations, alleging bias under Biden.

What’s Next? Musk must respond by April 4. The outcome could redefine SEC enforcement—and Musk’s feud with regulators.
