The move came after a number of his recent posts encouraged a stock market frenzy driven by an army of Reddit-informed retail traders.

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.
