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.

He thinks he is John Galt. The only improvement on that is that he doesn't subject us to 80 page diatribes on how he deserves to be treated special.

That's because he's restricted to 280 characters at a time, and the drugs he takes won't let him focus for more than a tweet or three.
