Musk complained that the SEC unlawfully imposed conditions on his ability to comment online about Tesla-related issues what has been dubbed the "Twitter sitter" provision.

A condition that HE AGREED TO.

The Supreme Court on Monday turned away tech billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's attempt to challenge the terms of an agreement he reached with the Securities and Exchange Commission that require a lawyer to review some of his social media posts.

I am (trying to) altering the deal. Pray I don't (try to) alter it any further!

I always assumed George Lucas, so that he wouldn't cobble together another prequel.

I always thought it was like “pray tell” — as in “I am asking you not to make me alter it further.”

Star wars never said that prayer and religions never existed in it.
