Washington — Elon Musk agreed this week to settle a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission civil lawsuit by having a trust in his name pay a $1.5 million civil penalty, the parties disclosed in federal court in early May 2025. The SEC had alleged an 11-day delay in disclosing Musk’s initial 5 percent stake in Twitter during March–April 2022. The settlement does not include an admission of wrongdoing and does not require Musk to repay the roughly $150 million the SEC said he saved; Musk completed the $44 billion Twitter purchase in October 2022. The filing will be submitted to the assigned judge for approval, and the SEC’s initial complaint remains the basis for the agency’s earlier enforcement action.
