SEC lawyer heading case on Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition resigns, cites ‘heartbreaking’ decision

In one of its last actions before President Donald Trump took office in January, the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Elon Musk for securities violations related to his acquisition of Twitter, now known as X. Now, the top attorney on the case, Robin Andrews, has resigned from the agency, according to a LinkedIn post and a court filing. On LinkedIn, Andrews did not cite a specific reason for his decision, but described his resignation as a “heartbreaking day” that came after weeks of excruciating deliberation.
