I'm having a hard time understanding this. Whats is the point of being CEO if you need approval to speak? Anyone investing in Tesla these days are basically investing in Musk. If they dont like the way he runs the business they can sell, or they can vote him out.

The tweet approval is a requirement of the settlement Musk signed with the SEC for his previous instance of securities fraud.

CEOs aren’t kings, they have laws to follow. Musk could have avoided all of this by simply not engaging in the behavior that earned him this forced oversight.

Oh, if I had to guess, the money and control are probably nice even if you structured your company in a way where you have to follow securities law.
