A U.S. judge slammed Elon Musk on Wednesday for trying to escape a settlement with regulators requiring oversight of his Tesla Inc tweets, saying the billionaire was “bemoaning” the 2018 deal now that he felt Tesla was “invincible.”

The ruling comes after the Twitter Inc board accepted on Monday Musk’s $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform.
