Elon Musk’s every move affects Twitter shares!
Elon Musk has been sued by a shareholder named Marc Bain Rasella for late announcing that he bought shares from the social media platform Twitter and keeping the value low. Twitter shares rose from $39.31 on April 1 to $49.97 on April 4. In other words, there was an increase of 27%.
Many shareholders also sold their shares at a low price, not being aware of this. In addition, some investors could not earn the money they would have earned due to the late arrival of the announcement. According to the Securities Act, Elon Musk was required to announce that he bought the shares on March 24, 10 days after he bought it. But the businessman made the necessary statement on April 4.
According to Bloomberg, Rasella represents the group of investors who sold their Twitter shares during the period when Elon Musk did not announce that he had bought the shares. Elon Musk, who is at the focal point of the subject, has not yet made a statement.
