Musk Calls on SEC, Which He Hates, to Investigate Twitter

On May 17, Musk conducted a poll and asked whether the public believed that 95% of Twitter’s users were “real, unique humans.” The answers, however, were a crying while laughing emoji and “Who me?!” followed by the robot emoji. Out of the 1.5 million votes cast, 52% chose the crying while laughing emoji. Furthermore, in response to a user suggesting that the Securities and Exchange Commission should investigate whether Twitter lied in its official filings, Musk called on the agency himself.

“Hello @SECGov, anyone home?” Musk tweeted. Twitter alleges in its suit that this was yet another violation of the billionaire’s non-disparagement agreement.
