Musk received an ultimatum from the SEC or faced multiple accusations, and the long-term confrontation between the US SEC and Musk escalated again. On December 12th, local time, Alex spiro, a lawyer of Musk, wrote to Gary Gensler, the outgoing chairman of the SEC, accusing the agency of launching an "ulterior motive action" against Musk, and revealed that the SEC had restarted the investigation of Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company owned by Musk. According to the contents of the letter, the SEC asked Musk to accept the settlement agreement within 48 hours and pay the fine, otherwise he would face "multiple accusations". These allegations are related to Musk's stock investment behavior before the acquisition of Twitter (now "X") in 2022, involving trading time and the legality of information disclosure. It was mentioned in the letter that the accusation originated from an investigation that lasted for several years, and the SEC recently issued a subpoena to Musk's lawyer, asking him to provide testimony. Alex spiro said that he had explicitly refused to cooperate and accused the agency of "political motives". Musk also posted a letter from his lawyer to Gary Gensler on social media, with the text "Gary, how could you do this to me" and a crying emoji. Alex spiro also asked in his letter who was directing the SEC's actions. Alex spiro emphasized that the SEC's "harassment" of Musk and its affiliates for six years has deviated from the original intention of seeking the truth and become an improper pressure. At present, the SEC has not commented on this. In addition, the letter said that the SEC also restarted the investigation of Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company owned by Musk. This autumn, the animal protection organization "Committee of Responsible Medical Doctors" and four US congressmen asked the SEC to investigate Neuralink, accusing it of securities fraud through misleading propaganda.
