Twitter Shareholders Have Sued Elon Musk Over Delayed Disclosure Of Stake

News 18  

SAN FRANCISCO: Elon Musks huge Twitter investment took a new twist Tuesday with the filing of a lawsuit alleging that the colorful billionaire illegally delayed disclosing his stake in the social media company so he could buy more shares at lower prices. That strategy, the lawsuit alleges, hurt less wealthy investors who sold shares in the San Francisco company in the nearly two weeks before Musk acknowledged holding a major stake. The lawsuit alleges that by March 14, Musk’s stake in Twitter had reached a 5 percent threshold that required him to publicly disclose his holdings under US securities law by March 24. That revelation caused Twitter’s stock to soar 27 percent from its April 1 close to nearly $50 by the end of April 4 trading, depriving investors who sold shares before Musk’s improperly delayed disclosure the chance to realize significant gains, according to the lawsuit filed on behalf of an investor named Marc Bain Rasella.
