Tesla shareholders try to get Elon Musk to just stop
CNN
Elon Musk wants everyone to believe he really did have the money secured to take Tesla private back in 2018. But a group suing him over that claim say he didn't have it, and that the SEC and a federal judge agree.
Musk is making the claim as he faces a shareholder lawsuit about a now infamous tweet in which he said he had "funding secured." At the same time, he's also bidding to take another tech company, Twitter, private, with a source of funds he has yet to disclose.
The Tesla shareholders who are suing Musk for fraud aren't happy about his comments. In a court filing on Friday they asked the judge in their case to muzzle the tweet-happy CEO.
