Musk is now required to step down as chairman of Tesla within 45 days, and he is not permitted to be re-elected to the post for three years.
Under the settlement, Tesla and Musk will pay $20 million each to the securities regulator and Musk will step down as chairman but remain as chief executive.
The charges come after Musk claimed in August via a series of tweets that he was planning to take the electric auto maker private, and implied that such a move was imminent with "funding secured".

After repeatedly falling short of its manufacturing targets, Tesla probably produced about 53,457 Model 3s in the third quarter, according to a Bloomberg Tracker that uses vehicle identification numbers and other inputs to estimate output in real time.

Two "independent directors" will also be appointed by Tesla, and the company will set up a new committee of independent directors and "put in place additional controls and procedures to oversee Musk's communications", the SEC said. Monday's gains erased Friday's 14 percent plunge after the SEC filed its lawsuit late on Thursday. Tesla's Denver drivers' club president Sean Mitchell said on Twitter that a team of "30 volunteers were providing 40 [plus] hours helping deliver and teach new owners" about the cars' different features.
In emails leaked to CNBC, Musk hinted that Tesla was "very close" to being profitable and told staff to "ignore the distractions".
But Kavanaugh's testimony last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee was not an act of intimidation or manipulation. With a 51-seat majority, Republicans can only lose one vote - if all Democrats vote no on Kavanaugh.
