DETROIT — (AP) — U.S. Securities regulators are unlawfully muzzling Tesla CEO Elon Musk, violating his free speech rights by continually trying to enforce a 2018 securities fraud settlement, Musk's lawyer contends in a court brief. The SEC is investigating whether Musk violated the settlement with tweets last November asking Twitter followers if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. But in the brief, Musk attorney Alex Spiro contends that the SEC is continually investigating Musk for topics not covered by the settlement. “It forbids future lawful speech on a range of topics absent approval.”Further, Musk's speech is chilled by the threat of SEC investigations and prosecution for contempt of court, the brief said. The whole dispute stems from an October 2018 agreement with the SEC that Musk signed.
