Elon Musk cannot move SEC’s Twitter lawsuit out of Washington DC, rules judge
Elon Musk failed to persuade a Washington, DC federal judge to move a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit over his late disclosure of his growing Twitter stake to Texas, after saying he was too busy to defend himself in the nation’s capital.
US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said on Thursday she “takes Mr Musk’s convenience seriously,” but the world’s richest person has “considerable means” and spends at least 40% of his time outside Texas.
“Indeed,” she wrote, “Mr Musk’s brief itself indicates that he has spent substantial time here this year,” when he ran the Department of Government Efficiency.
Sooknanan also said Texas judges have bigger caseloads than in her court, and she could proceed with “reasonable alacrity.”
In seeking to move the case, Musk said he was an “incredibly busy individual” who works 80-plus hour weeks and often sleeps in the office or factory, and that litigating in Washington would impose “substantial burdens.”
Lawyers for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for the SEC had no comment, citing the government shutdown. Musk’s fortune surpassed $500 billion for the first time on Wednesday.
The SEC sued Musk in January, saying his 11-day delay in revealing his initial 5% Twitter stake in early 2022 let him buy more than $500 million of shares at artificially low prices.
It wants Musk to pay a civil fine and give up $150 million he allegedly saved at the expense of unsuspecting investors. Musk is seeking to dismiss the case. He bought all of Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 and renamed it X.
Musk lives in Austin, and his companies Tesla, SpaceX and Boring tunnel business are based in Texas.
Sooknanan rejected Musk’s alternative proposal to move the SEC case to Manhattan, where former Twitter shareholders are suing him.

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of TV host Savannah Gutherie, is still missing but police have now found a new clue that might help the case.
A glove was found near her Tucson home and it got DNA on it, giving investigators something to study further about.
The glove was found about two miles from her house a couple of weeks after she disappeared on February 1 and it looked like that the masked man wore those gloves who was caught on her security cameras.
Sheriff Chris Nanos said the DNA belongs to someone but it might not be the kidnapper.
The person, however, works at a restaurant near the area but police haven’t shared their name just yet.
Other gloves found nearby are being tested in Florida, so the search is still ongoing.
Some experts think that there could be more than one kidnapper as blood evidence in Guthrie’s house makes them believe someone may have been holding her while waiting for a car.
Nancy’s daughter, Savannah and her family are offering a $1 million reward for any information that could help find her.
The case is still open and police is doing their best to follow any leads which might help them find Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen at her home on the night of Jan. 31.
Zayn Malik and his daughter Khai share their love for music and recently attended a new concert together.
The 33-year-old musician took to Instagram and shared a picture of his five-year-old daughter, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, enjoying the TWICE concert for their This Is For tour.
The Pillowtalk hitmaker praised the K-pop girl group, writing, “Massive thanks for giving the girls the best night ever.”
The picture posted on Zayn’s Story showed Khai standing in the concert suite wearing a glittery outfit and sneakers as she followed the dance steps, and another kid her age who wore a similar ensemble.
The March 4 concert was not the first time the dad-daughter duo attended a concert, rather due to their shared enthusiasm for K-pop, back in July, they attended a BLACKPINK concert in New York City.
In an Instagram Story at the time, Zayn shared a picture of the both of them, writing, “@Blackpinkofficial thank you. Me & Khai loved it.”
Previously speaking about Khai’s inclination towards music, the Dusk Till Dawn singer shared on The Zach Sang Show, “She’s not expert-level, but she’s got a bit of rhythm when she’s hitting the drums and stuff. You can tell that she could definitely develop that into something.”
