The settlement included $40 million in penalties, split equally between the company and Musk, and the removal of Musk as chairman of the Tesla board."As a result of the settlement, Elon Musk will no longer be Chairman of Tesla, Tesla's board will adopt important reforms, including an obligation to oversee Musk's communications with investors, and both will pay financial penalties," Steven Peikin, Co-Director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, said in a statement.According to the SEC's complaint, Elon Musk's misleading tweets caused Tesla's stock price to jump by over six percent on August 7, and led to significant market disruption.On Friday, Musk again stirred the controversy by tweeting that "Tesla stock price is too high imo (in my opinion)".Tesla stock price is too high imo
