Musk has been chastised for making unscientific and provocative statements, such as propagating misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic and supporting divisive political and technological viewpoints, particularly on Twitter. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States sued Musk in 2018 for tweeting that he had secured funds for a private acquisition of Tesla, which the SEC described as false and deceptive. He reached an agreement with the SEC but did not acknowledge guilt, and he stood aside as Tesla's chairman for the time being. In 2019, he prevailed in a slander suit launched against him by a British caver who assisted in the Tham Luang cave rescue. In 2022, Musk agreed to purchase Twitter for $44 billion but later submitted a termination letter of the deal, leading to lawsuits between both parties.
