2. $Tesla(TSLA.US)

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, accusing him of violating securities regulations in 2022 for failing to disclose his stake in Twitter and purchasing shares at a "manipulated low price." The lawsuit primarily targets Musk, who already held over 5% of Twitter shares at the time but waited 11 days to submit the necessary disclosures to the SEC, violating federal securities laws. This delay ultimately cost at least $150 million less for the acquisition. However, Trump will officially take office next Monday, and it remains uncertain whether the SEC will continue the lawsuit.
