The SEC requirement stems from Musk's tweets in 2018 that claimed he was taking Tesla private, which shocked the market and caused shares in the company to surge.

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

At the time, Musk agreed to settle the issue with the SEC, which included his signing off 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.

Musk's legal team claim the provision , "restricts Mr. Musk’s speech even when truthful and accurate.".

It extends to speech not covered by the securities laws and with no relation to the conduct underlying the SEC’s civil action, Elon Musk legal team, via NBC.

In response, the SEC said in court papers that Musk waived his right to appeal when he signed off on the settlement.

Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics. #Germany #AfD #Rubio #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #Surveillance #Politics #EuropeNews #Democracy #Tyranny #Immigration #Nationalism #MarcoRubio #BfV #BreakingNews #GermanElections #ChancellorMerz #Opposition #CivilRights #AfDUnderWatch

Trump Vs His Own Administration: ‘New Russia Sanctions..’ Rubio Says Sanctions Could Backfire Hard

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that imposing new sanctions on Russia could extend the Ukraine conflict by two more years. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio emphasized the critical diplomatic window the US is currently navigating. While President Trump threatened new sanctions, Rubio stressed that Washington is uniquely positioned to broker talks between Kiev and Moscow. The next week is expected to be pivotal for determining whether negotiations can move forward, as both sides edge closer to—but not quite reaching—a potential breakthrough. #MarcoRubio #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #USDiplomacy #TrumpAdministration #Putin #Zelensky #Ceasefire #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #USPolitics #Moscow #Kiev #DiplomaticEfforts #ConflictResolution #UkraineNegotiations #GlobalNews #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc
