US securities regulators are unlawfully muzzling Tesla CEO Elon Musk, violating his free speech rights by continually trying to enforce a 2018 securities fraud settlement, Musk’s lawyer is contending in a court brief.The document, filed late Tuesday with the federal appeals court in Manhattan, was written to support Musk’s appeal of a lower court’s April decision to uphold the settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.The brief said that a provision in the settlement requiring Musk to get prior approval before tweeting about the electric-car company is an illegal “government-imposed muzzle on Mr. Musk’s speech before it is made”.
