That led to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit and possible criminal investigation. In his settlement (which cost him $20 million and Tesla another $20 million), he was removed as chairman of the board and his tweeting is now under close watch. That didn't stop him from taunting the SEC. He remains CEO of Tesla.

Tesla's stock price is a good indicator of when Musk's Twitter behavior is getting too much for shareholders to handle. The dips match low points in his tweets, IRL behavior, and Model 3 production numbers.
