In May 2020 Musk caused a 14 billion dollar loss in market value on a single trading day with a series of unguarded tweets. He tweeted about Tesla’s market value being too high and how he was going to dispose of all physical assets.

Similarly, in April 2020, the 49-year-old South-African citizen, Musk tweeted (a joke) a photo claiming the electric car firm, Tesla is going bankrupt. As a result, the tweet unsettled investors and disrupted the market.

At the time of writing, Tesla Management is yet to react via press statement or any counter-report to challenge the fresh lawsuit against the complainant.

In the lawsuit, it’s stated that any further unbridled tweet from Musk would have dire consequences for Tesla’s future funding opportunities.
