Elon Musk to pay SEC .5 million settlement, judge signs off despite ‘serious misgivings’

Elon Musk to pay SEC $1.5 million settlement, judge signs off despite ‘serious misgivings’

Published by skeptic

A U.S. federal judge has approved a settlement that will see Elon Musk pay $1.5 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for failing to disclose his 2022 Twitter stock purchases within the legally required period. Even so, she was not happy about it. The penalty is a mere fraction of the amount Musk gained from the alleged violation, which he is apparently free to keep. SEE ALSO: Elon Musk sued by SEC for late disclosure of Twitter stock purchase In her order filed in a Columbia District Court on Wednesday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan expressed “significant misgivings” about the deal between Musk and the SEC. Under the agreement, Musk will pay $1.5 million to the SEC — literally one percent of the $150 million he allegedly saved due to his late disclosure.  Further, the penalty will technically be paid by a trust in Musk’s name rather than directly by the billionaire himself, a manoeuvre that the court noted appeared “for the sole purpose of Mr. Musk being able to say that no relief …

Myanmar’s deadliest earthquake results in 500 km rupture and signs of a rare supershear break

Myanmar’s deadliest earthquake results in 500 km rupture and signs of a rare supershear break

Published by Jenni Sidey

Myanmar’s March 28, 2025 earthquake did not just shake the ground around Mandalay, it ripped across the country on a scale that seismologists rarely get to study in such detail. The magnitude 7.7 quake killed thousands of people, injured more than 11,000, and damaged homes, roads, and critical infrastructure across a wide stretch of central Myanmar. Now a new analysis in Geodesy and Geodynamics shows that the destruction was tied to a long, shallow, fast-moving rupture along the Sagaing Fault, one of Southeast Asia’s most active fault systems. Using satellite radar and pixel offset tracking, researchers mapped how the ground shifted during the quake and built models of the slip along the fault. They found that the rupture stretched about 500 kilometers, making it one of the longest documented strike-slip surface ruptures of its kind. The event was dominated by horizontal motion, with most of the slip concentrated in the upper 12 kilometers of the crust. That matters because shallow ruptures are often more dangerous at the surface, where people, buildings, roads, and utilities are …

Published by Jenni Sidey

Four zodiac signs are attracting abundance and luck on July 7, 2026. On Neptune’s first day of retrograde, creative energy moves inward and a new idea is born. The type of abundance generated on Tuesday happens behind the scenes. You walk around knowing that you are about to start something special that no one else has done, but your luck comes from having the inner peace to stay silent. You’re too prone to being talked out of trying what you want. Don’t let anyone interfere.  These astrological signs don’t care if they’re validated by anyone right now and that brings more good fortune than they can imagine.  1. Taurus Design: YourTango You’re so much stronger when you’re your own person, Taurus. Neptune retrograde takes place in your hidden enemies sector, and this is where you learn how to act in ways that are super smart. You attract luck by moving in silence.

3 Zodiac Signs Get The Opportunity They’ve Been Hoping For On July 7, 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

Three zodiac signs get a major opportunity on July 7, 2026. It’s just the kind of thing they’ve been hoping for.  There’s something very destined about Tuesday’s astrological energy. We really start to get an idea of what we’re here to do and how we need to approach it so that it turns out well. The opportunity arriving on Tuesday for the astrological signs below has to do with something they have been planning for years. The beauty of it all is that the plan, albeit well-intended, was never truly clear, and therefore unable to manifest perfectly. Until today, that is. On July 7, they finally make sense of it all, which leads to a fine-tuned sense of direction and a true sense of purpose. 1. Virgo Design: YourTango If there’s one thing you never really knew, it was your purpose. You’ll find that all of the hints that you’ve discovered in the past have led you up to this day for a reason. What you’ll discover (or rather, rediscover) on July 7, Virgo, is …
