Here is Elon's sworn affidavit:
Affidavit Declaration of Elon R. Musk – #27, Att. #9 in United States Securities and Exchange Commission v. Musk (S.D.N.Y., 1:18-cv-08865) – CourtListener.com
"7. I have taken my obligation to comply with the Order and the Policy seriously.
Among other things, I have dramatically decreased the amount that I tweet about Tesla. Compared to the months of May, June, and July 2018, during the three months following the entry of the Order (November and December 2018 and January 2019), I have cut my average monthly Tesla-related tweets nearly in half.
This is not because I am concerned about non-compliance, but rather because I want to err on the side of caution to avoid unnecessary disputes with the SEC. I have also taken steps to ensure that, when I do tweet information, I am compliant with the Order and the Policy.
The Disclosure Counsel and other members of Tesla’s legal department have reviewed the updated controls and procedures with me on multiple occasions. With my knowledge and approval, Tesla’s General Counsel and Disclosure Counsel have been reviewing all tweets promptly in real time upon publication to double-check compliance with the Policy and to ensure that any errors are caught and rectified quickly. Additionally, since the entry of the Order and the enactment of the Policy, I have not tweeted information that I believe is, or could reasonably be, material."
The suggestion that Elon didn't strive to maximally comply with the settlement is absurd.
