Elon Musk's lawyers say tweet did not violate court order

Elon Musk's lawyers say tweet did not violate court orderFinancial regulators said a tweet about Tesla's production volume violated a September fraud settlementElon Musk tweeted a claim that Tesla would produce around 500,000 cars in 2019. Photograph: Aly Song/ReutersThe Tesla Inc chief executive, Elon Musk, shot back against the US financial regulator on Monday, arguing in a filing that a recent tweet about the electric vehicle maker's production volume did not violate the court's judgment and there is no basis to initiate contempt proceedings against him.Musk tweeted on 19 February to his more than 24 million followers that the electric vehicle-maker would produce about 500,000 cars in 2019. That tweet, the SEC argued, violated a September fraud settlement barring Musk from sharing material information about Tesla on social media without the company's pre-approval. The SEC asked a federal court in Manhattan to hold Musk in contempt shortly after.But Musk's lawyers argued on Monday that the tweet complied with the company's communication policy for senior executives and that the US Securities and Exchange Commission's request that Musk be held in civil contempt is incorrect on the facts and on the law.Tesla published a new communications policy in December for senior executives as part of the settlement. It called for Tesla's general counsel and a newly designated in-house securities law attorney to pre-approve any written statements about Tesla that could be material.Tesla conceded last month that Musk's tweet was not pre-approved. But the tweet Musk fired off after the markets closed merely restated prior disclosures on electric car production volumes, the lawyers wrote on Monday, did not disclose material information and did not alter the mix of data available to investors.The settlement between Musk, Tesla and the SEC resolved an SEC lawsuit over claims Musk had made on Twitter last year that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private at $420 per share. As part of that settlement, Musk stepped down as the company's chairman and he and Tesla agreed to pay $20m each in fines.Musk had called the regulator the "Shortseller Enrichment Commission" on Twitter after the settlement. One day after the agency started pursuing the contempt order, he tweeted that "something is broken with SEC oversight." Renewed PressureThe renewed public battle between Tesla's chief executive and the top US securities regulator adds pressure on Musk amid larger financial woes.Tesla on Monday reversed a recent decision to close all its stores and move to an online-only sales model, in order to cut the price of its Model 3 sedan by 6%.The company said it would await the results of a further review on the usefulness of physical locations, and the discount on the original price of the car be "about 3%".Legal experts have said the SEC could now pursue multiple avenues, including a higher fine, imposing further restrictions on Musk's activities or removing him from Tesla's board or helm.


Parliament Again Votes Down May’s Brexit Deal

Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:24 PM PDT

Parliament Again Votes Down May's Brexit DealThe U.K. Parliament defeated Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit proposal for the second time on Tuesday.Members nixed the proposal in a 391–242 vote, a smaller margin than the 432–202 defeat it suffered in January. The move sets up another crucial vote on Wednesday, in which MPs will decide whether to move forward with Brexit on March 29 despite the lack of a Parliament-approved agreement between the U.K. and the E.U. The outcome of that vote could then prompt a vote to delay Brexit.Conservative MPs, only 75 of whom voted against the plan this time after 118 of them voted against it in January, will be able to vote freely going forward, May promised."This is an issue of grave importance for the future of our country," May said. "Just like the [abortion] referendum there are strongly held and equally legitimate views on both sides."The prime minister warned members from both sides of the aisle not to make the "perfect the enemy of the good.""The government has been defeated again by an enormous majority and it must accept its deal is clearly dead and does not have the support of this House," said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose party voted against the deal. "The prime minister has run down the clock and the clock has been run out on her. Maybe it's time instead we had a general election and the people can choose who their government should be.""I am passionate about delivering the result of the referendum, but I equally passionately believe that the best way to do that is to leave in an orderly way with a deal and I still believe there is a majority in the House for that course of action," May said.Opponents of Brexit have warned that leaving without a plan will throw Britain's economy into turmoil, while backers have dismissed those concerns as exaggerated.

Worst Advice Ever Given to Law School ApplicantsIf you're reading this, chances are that you've at least considered applying to law school and have probably realized that the process is a little more complex than you had originally thought.
