The SEC deemed the tweets
"materially false and misleading,"
and in clear violation of securities laws.

on the so-called "Twitter sitter" provision.
NBC reports that Musk has since said
the restrictions are unconstitutional and that
he was coerced into signing the SEC agreement.
According to court papers, lawyers
representing Musk have accused the SEC
of waging an "ongoing campaign" against Musk.

when truthful and accurate.".
