The Spin
Narrative A
While Musk wasn't even close to meeting the filing deadline and the SEC has a strong case against him, there is little it can do to faze someone with that much money. Whatever the outcome, it will very likely amount to nothing more than a bee sting; the investigation is ultimately pointless.
Narrative B
Musk has a history of disregarding SEC regulations, and then turning the tables and accusing the agency of subjecting him to unfounded investigations. Musk's latest stunt potentially netted him millions at the cost of other investors. He must be held accountable.
