Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been pushing back against – and poking fun at – the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for years. He's even gone so far as to make inappropriate jokes at the SEC's expense. Some vocal Tesla fans might say that due to the CEO's social media behavior, it would come as no surprise if the Commission is now "targeting Tesla" and its outspoken CEO.
It certainly comes as no surprise Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, sent the SEC a letter with claims that the organization appears to be harassing Tesla and Musk. According to Automotive News, the letter claiming that the Commission is targeting Tesla with multiple "endless probes" and “unrelenting investigations” due to Musk's criticism of the government was delivered to US District Judge Alison Nathan.
