There is not a word in these articles about what EM has been doing in the past few months regarding crypto, and journalists have obviously recycled some old news and published it this way because they know how much interest there is in EM and everything related to it.
But, there is nothing new when it comes to the SEC's decisions, so there is no actual last straw.
This was my dilemma. If it's basically old news, why they were published now? Were the journalists so much out of better topics or is there an intention somewhere for this story?
And that's why I thought that maybe it's supposed to be a warning from somebody powerful and annoyed by these tweets.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it

Besides, if people think Musk will be penalized for his tweets about Doge and Bitcoin that will happen after we colonize Mars
LOL! Maybe only indirectly for crypto, but indeed, the focus will be on TSLA shares and such.
And also, the fines are as big and effective as a mosquito bite for an elephant.
Nobody will be able to shut him up, the only way is to make people stop listening to him, but if they DO want to listen to him, then how are you going to stop that without taking a dump on a lot of things like freedom of choice?
Well, SEC fines are not necessarily for shutting him up (one cannot argue with the freedom of speech). They should be more a wake up call for the herd to stop following his every move.
