Summary
Elon Musk is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to undo a settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that required him to have a "Twitter sitter" approve his tweets about Tesla. Musk's attorneys argue that this provision violated his free speech rights. The SEC charged Musk with securities fraud after he posted tweets in 2018 about taking Tesla private. Musk and Tesla settled with the SEC, but now Musk is seeking to overturn the agreement.
