After losing everywhere else, Elon Musk asks SCOTUS to get SEC off his back

This level of free-speech maximalism would be ruinous to so much of our current society—basically, saying that anyone can lie, to anyone, about their company, their products, whatever they want, with no consequences whatsoever.
