5月8日(路透社)——美国一名联邦法官周五拒绝快速批准美国证券交易委员会(SEC)与埃隆·马斯克就其收购推特事宜达成的150万美元和解协议,表示她需要更多信息,以判断该和解协议是否公平,以及达成过程是否合规。
该和解协议旨在解决SEC的一项诉讼指控:马斯克拖延11天才披露其累计持有推特5%股份的情况,并在2022年4月披露其持有9.2%股份时,节省了1.5亿美元。这位全球首富在六个月后以440亿美元收购了推特。

华盛顿特区联邦地区法官斯帕克尔·苏克南南表示,在批准该和解协议前,她必须考量多项因素,包括协议对双方是否公平、是否符合公共利益,以及协议是否“存在不当串通或腐败污点”。
她下令双方于5月13日出庭,并准备好提出提交支持和解协议的法律文书的时间表。
马斯克的律师未立即回应置评请求。SEC也未立即回应类似的置评请求。
SEC于2025年1月14日对马斯克提起诉讼,距离当时的民主党总统乔·拜登离开白宫仅6天。

马斯克曾是共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普的顾问,他声称该诉讼具有政治动机。他还表示,延迟披露股份是无意之举。
特朗普政府曾削减了对某些类型的疑似企业不当行为的执法力度,而现任SEC主席保罗·阿特金斯一直在重新调整监管机构的执法优先级。
马斯克与SEC于3月17日披露了和解谈判,就在SEC执法主管玛格丽特·瑞安突然离职的一天后。
该和解协议并未要求马斯克承认不当行为,也不会要求其返还据称节省的资金。
马斯克已将推特更名为X,该平台如今隶属于他的火箭公司SpaceX。

May 8 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday declined to quickly approve the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s $1.5 million settlement with Elon Musk over his purchase of Twitter, saying she wants more information about whether the accord is fair and how it was reached.
The settlement would resolve an SEC lawsuit accusing Musk of waiting 11 days too long to disclose he had amassed a 5% stake in Twitter, and saving $150 million by the time he revealed a 9.2% stake in April 2022. Musk, the world’s richest person, bought Twitter for $44 billion six months later.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in Washington, D.C. said that before approving the settlement, she must consider several factors including its fairness to both sides, whether it is consistent with the public interest, and whether it is “tainted by improper collusion or corruption.”
She ordered both sides to appear in court on May 13, and be prepared to propose a timeline to file briefs supporting the settlement.
Lawyers for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The SEC did not immediately respond to a similar request.
The SEC sued Musk on January 14, 2025, six days before then- Democratic President Joe Biden left the White House.

Musk is a former adviser to Republican President Donald Trump, and has claimed that the lawsuit was politically motivated. He has also said the delayed disclosure was inadvertent.
The Trump administration has curtailed enforcement activity against some types of suspected corporate misconduct, and current SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has been refocusing the regulator’s enforcement priorities.
Musk and the SEC disclosed settlement talks on March 17, one day after SEC enforcement chief Margaret Ryan abruptly left her job.
The settlement did not require Musk to admit wrongdoing, or give up money he allegedly saved.
Twitter, which Musk renamed X, is now part of his rocket company SpaceX.
