New! Tesla and Elon Musk SEC Communications 2019-2020: plainsite.org/documents/2d0f…
After a year of preparation for response, key words in the SEC's cover letter:
"in anticipation of litigation" $TSLA
These documents reveal that as expected, Elon Musk's Twitter Sitter changed over time. It wasn't always Yun Huh. $TSLA
They also reveal John Hueston, Musk's former lawyer who disappeared mid-SEC case without formally withdrawing, writing in a manner consistent with someone who was fired (and also highlighting the conflict problem between Musk and $TSLA).
According to the SEC FOIA log, these requests about $TSLA never happened.
Long-since-departed General Counsel Jonathan Chang apologizes to the SEC because...they're being informed about the risk of a publicly traded company's CEO conducting himself in a manner that could lead to a civil action? $TSLA
This is just absurd. And the caption neglects to mention an entire lawsuit against Musk (not just Tesla, Inc.) the letter is connected to. $TSLA
"the Committee will continue to review past written communications"
What? $TSLA
Elon is too busy to speak with the SEC, which he would like to do *directly*, because he is *recovering from surgery* investors were never informed about. $TSLA
Before Yun Huh...
1. The SEC didn't even know who the Twitter Sitter was, and the Commission wrote the Consent Decree that created it!
2. The Twitter Sitter was apparently Jonathan Chang.
In which, as per usual, $TSLA (like all large companies) gets the opportunity to attempt to veto public records requests it doesn't like.
Huh, what could have possibly happened that would have made @samteller summarily resign from three positions as Elon Musk's right-hand man? Possibly a new SEC investigation, No. SF-4322, in which it appears that he was subpoenaed.
Care to comment, Sam?
It appears that just as the SEC closed out investigation number SF-4082, it opened a new one, SF-4322. It's unclear if that investigation is still pending, or how many others there are. $TSLA

SEC -> Williams & Connolly LLP -> Hueston Hennigan LLP -> Jonathan Chang -> Yun Huh
Correction: These FOIA requests are listed in the FOIA logs, but for 2018 even though they have 2019 case numbers. They are from Levi & Korsinsky, LLP, which is handling the $TSLA "funding secured" litigation for the plaintiffs.
