Elon Musk’s attempt to overturn a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that mandates he obtain legal counsel before publishing some Tesla-related content has been denied by the US Supreme Court.
The businessman and investor claimed in his appeal that his First Amendment rights were violated by a consent agreement with the SEC, but the Supreme Court has decided not to take the case.
Musk tried to have the agreement, which forced him to pay fines, resign from Tesla’s board, and have his tweets pre-screened by a lawyer, struck down.
