But what is already being scrutinized is Musk\u2019s failure to comply with rules regarding disclosure of his initial 9% stake, according to people with knowledge of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Trade Commission recently opened an inquiry into whether Musk failed to comply with an antitrust reporting requirement as he amassed his initial 9.1% stake in Twitter between the end of January and the beginning of April, The Information has learned. At the heart of the inquiry is whether Musk was initially buying as someone who wanted to influence Twitter management or whether he saw himself as more of a passive shareholder. Notably, Musk\u2019s initial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission categorized his purchase as a passive stake\u2014which immediately raised questions given his public comments about how Twitter is run.<\/p>\n<p>There have also been questions about whether Musk\u2019s initial filing with the SEC, three weeks after he passed the 5% threshold, missed SEC filing deadlines. It couldn\u2019t be learned if the SEC was also investigating Musk\u2019s disclosures. For both the FTC and the SEC, the significance of Musk potentially breaching technical reporting requirements is not clear. <\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/elon-musks-early-twitter-purchase-under-ftc-scrutiny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here <\/a>to read the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Scoop: Elon Musk&#8217;s early Twitter investment under scrutiny over possible failure to report the purchases to antitrust regulators. w\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jtoonkel\">@jtoonkel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3Sf79TSBSe\">https:\/\/t.co\/3Sf79TSBSe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Josh Sisco (@joshua_sisco) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joshua_sisco\/status\/1519718275294277634\">April 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/04\/elon-musks-initial-twitter-stock-buy-ftc-scrutiny\/\">Elon Musk\u2019s Initial Twitter Stock Buy Under FTC Scrutiny<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Elon Musk vs. the titans of the Deep State.
