Announcing that he bought 9.2 percent of Twitter with an investment of $2.8 billion last week, Elon Musk had become the largest shareholder of the giant social media platform. Now, the famous billionaire is facing a class action lawsuit for late filing of his investment with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Shareholders at a loss
According to the securities law, Musk, who increased his stake on Twitter to 5 percent on March 24, was required to report his investment to the SEC within 10 days. However, the famous billionaire, who did not provide any information to the institution until April 4, received great criticism from other shareholders.
