United States SEC Investigates Elon Musk & Brother Kimbal Musk for Violating Insider Trading Rules in Twitter Poll
26th February 2022 | Hong Kong
The United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has opened an investigation into Elon Musk & Brother Kimbal Musk for possibly violating insider trading rules involving Elon’s Musk twitter poll on the 6th of November 2021. His brother Kimbal Musk who sits on Tesla Board, had sold $108 million of Tesla shares on the 5th of November 2021. The next day on 6th November 2021, Elon Musk tweeted a poll to the public, if the public supported him to sell 10% of his stock in Tesla. Tesla share price fell thereafter, and on 16th November 2021, the United States SEC issued a subpoena to Tesla requesting for additional financial information. The current investigation is to determine if Kimbal Musk had sold his shares because Elon Musk had told him about the twitter poll in advance.
