Market News: Turkish anti-monopoly agency fined Google $75 million for advertising technology investigation.Musk received an ultimatum from the SEC or faced multiple accusations, and the long-term confrontation between the US SEC and Musk escalated again.

It was mentioned in the letter that the accusation originated from an investigation that lasted for several years, and the SEC recently issued a subpoena to Musk's lawyer, asking him to provide testimony. Alex spiro said that he had explicitly refused to cooperate and accused the agency of "political motives". Musk also posted a letter from his lawyer to Gary Gensler on social media, with the text "Gary, how could you do this to me" and a crying emoji.
