Tesla said it received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to a 2018 settlement that required vetting of CEO Elon Musk’s tweets on material information about the company, according to a Feb. 7 filing.
The subpoena was issued by the SEC on Nov. 16, shortly after Musk asked his followers on Twitter if he should sell 10 percent of his stake in the electric car maker, triggering a stock selloff.
