Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to a court filing by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Elon Musk is negotiating a settlement with the SEC regarding his failure to disclose his purchases of Twitter shares—now renamed X—prior to making his acquisition offer in April 2022. The report states that SpaceX’s bankers hope to resolve this matter before potentially launching what could be the largest IPO in history. Under regulations, investors must disclose ownership of 5% or more of a publicly traded company within 10 days of purchase. However, Musk disclosed his holdings 21 days after crossing that threshold. He also filed a “Form 13G,” intended for passive investors, rather than the “Form 13D,” designed for activist investors, including those seeking to make acquisition offers. Musk’s lawyers informed the court earlier this month that, at least to some extent, these settlement negotiations have proceeded without the involvement of the SEC enforcement attorneys handling the case.

Summary
Elon Musk is in settlement discussions with the SEC regarding the delayed disclosure of his X stock purchases in April 2022, according to Odaily. The 21-day delay violated the 10-day reporting requirement, and Musk filed a Form 13G instead of a Form 13D. This issue could impact liquidity and crypto markets ahead of a potential SpaceX IPO. Musk’s team stated that the SEC attorney is not directly involved, and legal actions are also subject to CFTC regulations.
