Elon Musk loses bid to end Tesla tweets oversight deal
Elon Musk has lost a bid to get out of an agreement made with regulators requiring oversight of his tweets about his car firm Tesla. US District Judge Lewis Liman rejected those arguments as well as Mr Musk's request to stop a separate SEC investigation into tweets he posted last year regarding the sale of some of his Tesla stock. The SEC's probe is about tweets Mr Musk posted on 6 November, asking his more than 80m Twitter followers whether he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla. A majority of those who voted in the poll said he should sell the stake and Mr Musk has since sold more than $16bn worth of Tesla shares. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC.Mr Musk, who is a self-described "Free speech absolutist", has called for a shakeup of Twitter's moderation policies, which he sees as a threat to free speech.
