> If the SEC got an injuction against Elon tweeting

This is not what the SEC do, thus the whole thing is a non existent hypothetical. But lets game it out anyway.

As 100% owner of Twitter, any remediation for failure to comply with the injuction would fall on Elons shoulders. Be it monetary sanctions or even imprisonment.

Independant Twitter: Elon is silenced for months while the courts thrash it out -- Elon Twitter: Elon sits in county lockup for months while the courts thrash it out.

> Imagine if he threatened to let Trump back on twitter and whip up anti-biden sentiment in the run up to an election?

Threatened? Have you not been paying attention? Its basically nailed on Trump is back day 1. I see 0 correlation with Trump having a platform on twitter and anti-biden sentiment. If anything the greatest gift Trump recieved was his Twitter ban. Contrary to what you might hear, twitter is awash with anti-biden sentiment, pro-biden sentiment, anti-trump sentiment, pro-trump sentiment etc.
