Billionaire Elon Musk and his companies face a multitude of legal challenges from a variety of sources, ranging from insider trading to racism allegations, according to Reuters.
Many of Musk’s and his companies’ legal challenges stem from President Joe Biden’s administration, but they also include entities outside of his government, according to Reuters. A vast majority of the current legal challenges have arisen since Musk acquired social media platform Twitter — now X — in October 2022.
Investors accused Musk of insider trading in a June lawsuit, asserting that Musk engaged in manipulation of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, resulting in their losing billions of dollars, according to Reuters. The lawsuit includes Musk changing the Twitter logo to a Dogecoin Shiba Inu dog logo in April, causing a 30% rise in its value, and then selling around $124 million worth of the cryptocurrency.
Moreover, SpaceX, Tesla and X are all accused of different forms of discrimination.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating Musk’s spacecraft company SpaceX for allegedly discriminating by not hiring refugees and asylum seekers, according to an August filing.
Furthermore, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Musk’s electric car company Tesla over alleged racism in September, according to a lawsuit announced by the federal agency. Black personnel allegedly dealt with numerous instances of racist abuse and derogatory slurs at Tesla’s manufacturing facilities in Fremont, California, from at least 2015 until 2023.
Tesla allegedly allowed this racism to take place and unlawfully sought revenge against those who stood up against it, according to the complaint.
X is also facing a lawsuit for age discrimination due to allegedly firing older employees in a disproportionate manner after Musk took over the social media platform, according to Reuters.
A comprehensive overhaul of these agencies is sorely needed, along with a commission to take punitive action against those individuals who have abused their regulatory power for personal and political gain.
Can’t wait for this to happen.

Most recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Musk to force him to testify in an investigation related to his acquisition of Twitter, according to a Thursday filing. Musk allegedly may have violated securities laws related to buying shares of Twitter Inc. preceding his acquisition of the company.
The SEC served Musk a subpoena in May, but he did not show up at a scheduled mandatory testimony in September, although he had agreed to do so, according to the SEC.
X, SpaceX and Tesla did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
