This is where a software solution might actually help. As an example, I've added some keywords to a script in my IRC client that if they exist the message is stopped by my client. In Elon Musks' case this should be Tesla (and probably some other court mandated muzzles) and should be on their Twitter clients, and other "designated publication channels" that the ruling covers. Why? Because remembering to not do things…
Surely the SEC has something better to do than attack someone for tweeting.
Not if that person has posted: 1) MAJOR false market moving information regarding a buyout with funding committed that both never happened and turned out to be basically hot air to get back at shorts 2) AGREED to pre-approval of tweets about tesla so that "mistakes" wouldn't happen again 3) Promptly tweaks another FALSE and market moving prediction about 2019 production (500K), which almost immediately leads to the r…
Isn't that what happened last time? Elon basically had to pay off investors who lost money due to the stock swings caused by his tweeting BS?

...Can a corporation demand an employee waive their right to speech as a private citizen? I think even if so, that's a terrible idea.
I mean, I'm fairly certain that if I started publicly bad-mouthing my company and they noticed, I'd be canned.

And I say all that as a big supporter of Elon generally.
At this point, the board of directors should just demand deletion of his Twitter account. I admire Elon for his vision, and actually also admire his radical style despite of its unpopular image - I watched the video where he smoked pot on the radio show. It was a really amazing conversation about future of humanity. He just needs to stop tweeting. You may say it’s fixing the symptom, but here if we take Twitter away,…
How about, "helped every piece of news break faster." I knew about every trade during the run up to today's 3pm NHL trade deadline many minutes and sometimes hours before the stories appeared on nhl.com or sportsnet, etc.
Is that just for entertainment or did you use that information in some way?
It's similar to papers or tv stations crowing how they broke a story. So what? Do I really need (or do most people) to know that there is a mass tragedy (only one example) the minute it happens? It can't wait? Not everything that happens is '911' grade information.

This is true for every employee of every public company on the planet. We're discussing it here because Mr. Musk thinks the rules don't apply to him.

When you're the CEO of a publicly traded company, getting paid millions in stock comp to run that company, you don't get to use the excuse "it's mentally burdensome". The whole reason they're in that position, getting paid those obscene amounts, is that they're supposed to be able to handle the burden. If they're not able to handle it, they should step aside for someone who can.

The last two pages (pp. 11 and 12) are a great example of why you shouldn't be an arrogant dumbass towards the government. The SEC quotes his 60 minutes interview with Leslie Stahl where he says he doesn't respect the SEC. While I think the SEC has a legitimate grievance here, I'm also guessing this is partly vindictive. Play stupid games... And I say all that as a big supporter of Elon generally.
