“Regulators will want to know what motivated the tweets,” said Frenkel, adding they would likely take a hard look at trading around the tweet. The SEC declined to comment. And while Musk’s comments on Tesla are subject to special legal checks under a deal he struck with the SEC to resolve its allegations that his 2018 “funding secured” tweet broke the agency’s rules, US free speech protections afford Musk plenty of leeway to comment on issues beyond his electric carmaker. Since Musk is not a Manchester United executive he does not have the same legal obligations to its shareholders as he does to those of Tesla, and there is no indication that he or anyone close to him has a major financial interest in the soccer club. Known for his unconventional and irreverent style, Musk has a history of moving stocks and cryptocurrencies with his tweets and has been locked in a feud with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since tweeting in 2018 that he had funding secured to take Tesla private when the SEC concluded he did not. According to court and regulatory filings, the SEC has several open investigations into Musk’s subsequent tweets about Tesla and has queried others about his US$44bil (RM196.61bil) deal to buy Twitter itself, which he is now embroiled in a legal fight to exit.

Elon Musk has undoubtedly just reignited a long-standing debate. He has sparked a discussion on the value of being a stay-at-home mom versus being a women ...

The debate has often turned to pit stay-at-home mothers against mothers who have chosen to work. "Why a man say that for a woman? This is a question that often plagues mothers on both sides, whether they choose to stay home or work. The serial entrepreneur has just added the issue of gender equality to his list. Musk, who has more than 103.4 million followers on Twitter, for example, no longer hesitates to use his platform and his megaphone to raise important issues of our time.
