Ridiculous

#ElonMusk settles #SEC lawsuit over #Twitter disclosures, $1.5 million fine imposed

#Musk settled the SEC's civil lawsuit accusing the world's richest person of waiting too long in 2022 to disclose his initial ‌purchases of Twitter, now known as #X.

A trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5 million civil penalty, WITHOUT admitting #wrongdoing.

Musk won't have to give up ANY money he allegedly saved from the delay.

Dare not to be guilty of ill Things, tho’ thou wert sure to be secret and unpunished. Conscience will sit upon it, and that is Witness, Jury, Judge, and Executioner.

A quotation from Shakespeare

PROSPERO: Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th’ quick,
   Yet with my nobler reason ’gainst my fury
   Do I take part. The rarer action is
   In virtue than in vengeance.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 5, sc. 1, l. 32ff (5.1.32-36) (1611)
