Musk also overtook Amazon boss, Jeff Bezos, to become the world's wealthiest person last month, which resulted in surge of Tesla's share price over the past year with a fortune estimated at $185 billion.
Earlier, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, accused Musk of misleading investors by tweeting about a possible withdrawal of Tesla from the stock exchange and was forced to step down as chairman of the Tesla's board in 2018 after a serious run-in.
