美国证券交易委员会起诉马斯克：指控其迟报推特持股、少付至少1.5亿美元
2025年1月14日，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）在华盛顿特区向哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院提起诉讼，指控 Elon Musk 在2022年收购推特（Twitter，现为 X）股票时，未按联邦证券法要求及时提交实益所有权报告，案号为1:25-cv-00105。
SEC 的起诉书称，马斯克在2022年3月14日已取得推特逾5%的流通股，按当时规则须在10个日历日内、即3月24日之前提交报告，但他迟至4月4日上午才提交 Schedule 13G，披露持股已逾9%；披露后推特股价单日跳涨逾27%。
起诉书指控，在报告逾期未交的3月25日至4月1日期间，马斯克继续买入逾5亿美元的推特股票；由于其持股与投资意图这一重大信息尚未公开，他得以从不知情的公众手中以人为压低的价格买入，少付至少1.5亿美元，而在此期间卖出股票的投资者则蒙受了重大经济损失。
SEC 指控马斯克违反《1934年证券交易法》第13(d)条及据此制定的规则13d-1，该条采严格责任标准。SEC 请求法院判令永久禁止其再犯、追缴非法所得并加计判决前利息，另处民事罚款。
马斯克的律师 Alex Spiro 当日回应称这起诉讼是「一场闹剧」，是 SEC 多年骚扰行动的收尾之作。此案是时任 SEC 主席 Gary Gensler 在1月20日政府换届前一周提起的执法行动之一。

SEC Sues Musk, Alleging Late Twitter Ownership Disclosure Let Him Underpay by at Least $150 Million
On January 14, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed suit in Washington, D.C., in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, charging Elon Musk with failing to timely file a beneficial ownership report, as required by the federal securities laws, after he acquired shares of Twitter, Inc. (now X) in 2022. The case is No. 1:25-cv-00105.
According to the SEC's complaint, Musk had acquired beneficial ownership of more than five percent of Twitter's outstanding common stock by March 14, 2022, which required him to file a report within 10 calendar days, by March 24, 2022. He did not file until the morning of April 4, 2022, when his Schedule 13G disclosed that his stake had grown to more than nine percent; Twitter's stock price jumped by more than 27 percent after the disclosure.
The complaint alleges that between March 25 and April 1, 2022, while the report was overdue, Musk purchased more than $500 million worth of additional Twitter stock. Because the material information of his ownership and investment purpose had not yet been priced in, he was able to buy at artificially low prices from the unsuspecting public, underpaying by at least $150 million, while investors who sold during that period suffered substantial economic harm.
The SEC charges Musk with violating Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 13d-1 thereunder, a provision that imposes a strict liability standard. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, and civil penalties.
Musk's attorney Alex Spiro responded the same day by calling the lawsuit a "sham" and the culmination of a years-long campaign of harassment by the agency. The case was among the final enforcement actions filed under SEC Chair Gary Gensler, a week before the January 20 change of administration.
