In dispute over Elon Musk’s tweets from 2018. JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.18% on Monday sued Tesla TSLA, -1.94% and sought to recover $162.2 million, and accusing Tesla of breach of contract over warrant transactions. JPMorgan asserts Tesla did not pay.
A document filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday detailed the ten-year-old dispute, and said “Tesla red leggings mikasa cosplay fancy nails prince naveen crib skirt metal shoe racks josh duhamel dating anna kendrick dating gucci bucket hat jadah marie is indecently ignoring its clear contractual obligation to pay JPMorgan in full.”
The matter is focused on a series of warrant transactions between February and March of 2018 that required Tesla to give to the investment bank or shares of its stock or cash if Tesla shares’ “strike price” were higher than an agreed-upon value when the warrants expired.
JPMorgan states that the warrants have been unable to hold value due to Musk’s August 2018 tweet saying that denver pop culture con u wedding pie strain gwen stefani wedding dress red wedding dresses melania trump wedding dress champagne wedding dress Tesla had “funding secured” to go private at $420 per share. The fluctuations that followed affected the prices of the stock, until warrants ran out between June 2021 and in July 2021. This was more than the strike as well as the original price.
JPMorgan stated that adjustments to lower the strike price was made following Musk’s tweet in 2018 and then again following Tesla’s 5 for 1 stock split in 2020 but “Tesla is refusing to accept the price of the contractual strike.”
According to the lawsuit, Tesla claimed in 2019 that JPMorgan’s adjustments were “an chance to take the advantage of volatility changes of Tesla’s stock.”
Tesla who disbanded its media-relations team last year, did not immediately reply to a request for comment Monday.
