A U.S. District Judge has approved a $1.5 million settlement between Elon Musk and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning Musk's delayed disclosure of his Twitter (now X) investment in 2022. The SEC had alleged that Musk's 11-day delay allowed him to purchase shares at a lower price, potentially saving him $150 million at the expense of other shareholders. Despite approving the settlement, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan expressed significant reservations, stating that the fairness of the outcome, particularly the penalty amount for Musk, is ultimately a matter for the public to judge.
