Tesla shares fall after SEC asks judge to hold Elon Musk in contempt for violating deal

Shares of Tesla fell nearly 5 percent after Bloomberg News reported that the SEC has asked a judge to hold Elon Musk in contempt for violating its deal. According to Bloomberg, the SEC cited an "inaccurate" February 19 tweet about production.

On that date, Elon Musk tweeted — then revised — projections for full-year Tesla manufacturing numbers.

The CEO said that Tesla would make "around" 500,000 vehicles this year, later clarifying he "meant to say" the company's annualized production rate at the end of 2019 could be around 500,000 vehicles — or a production rate of 10,000 cars per week. Total deliveries for the year are still estimated at 400,000, Musk said.
