The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to seek sanctions against Elon Musk for failing to appear for court-ordered testimony for his Twitter takeover.

The Swamp doesn't like it when they can't control what you say.

The SEC is investigating whether or not Musk "broke federal securities laws" when he bought Twitter in 2022.

"In a court filing, the SEC said the sanctions motion would seek an order to show cause for why Musk should not be held in civil contempt for waiting until just three hours before the scheduled Sept. 10 testimony to advise he would not appear," Reuters reported.

So why didn't they bring it up in 2022?

LAWFARE… Elon is now an ENEMY OF THE STATE. I’m hoping he has personal security/bodyguards.

The government is also now trying to throw roadblocks into SpaceX’ progress.

Please tell me how America’s present regime is any different from China, Russia, or any other of our purported “enemies?”

Was he under a legal obligation -as in he was subpoenaed - to appear? If not then skip it. This is just petty and vindictive on the part of the SEC. And the instruction to do this must be coming from the very top.

My guess is that Musk’s response might be abbreviated, G.F.Y.

Who didn’t see that coming? Musk probably has one finger poised over the ‘delete’ button.

Probably from Biden’s whore wife because she is playing POTUS now. Not one vote for this hag but she sits at the top.
So much for RAT Demockracee.

Tell me all about Harris and her kind trashing our America? When our families fought for our freedom all the way back to
the 1700’s why do we need her? We still have those who would give their live for America. They darn sure do not need Harris.
