Elon Musk last night trolled the Securities and Exchange Commission on Twitter. You know, because he's naughty by nature.

• His tweet: "Just want to that the Shortseller Enrichment Commission is doing incredible work. And the name change is so on point!"
• Obviously, this is dumb. Not quite as dumb as tweeting "funding secured," but still way below of what should be the maturity and common sense standards of America's most important tech exec since Steve Jobs.
• Musk's and Tesla's settlements with the SEC still need to be approved by the court, and the Department of Justice retains the ability to file criminal charges.
• That also means the settlements aren't technically in effect yet, including a provision whereby Tesla must create a review process for any of Musk's social media comments directly related to Tesla, or which "reasonably could contain" information material to Tesla shareholders.
• But even in this interim period, Musk isn't totally unbound. Per my colleague Felix Salmon: "He very clearly cannot proclaim his innocence, for instance, that would 100% blow up the deal."
• Speaking of the settlement, WSJ reports on the integral middleman role played by Mark Cuban.
• Tesla shares were off more than 3% at market open.
• Love that they asked: "The SEC told CNN Business that it has not changed its name."

💰 Big bank breakup: Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) this week introduced legislation that would break up "too big to fail" financial institutions, defined as those exposed to 3% or more of U.S. GDP.

• No, it won't become law anytime soon, if ever. But it's the sort of populist message that Democrats might leverage into the midterms, particularly after Sanders and his fellow left-wingers had success in getting Amazon to increase its minimum wage. At the very least, it reminds Wall Street that not all of D.C.’s regulatory zeal is aimed at Silicon Valley.
• Rep. Sherman yesterday joined the Pro Rata podcast to discuss his proposal. Listen here.

• New firm alert: Humbition today launched as a $30 million VC fund focused on founder-led startups in New York City. It's the brainchild of Cyrus Massoumi (ZocDoc founder) and Slava Rubin (Indigogo founder).

• Recommended reading: Based on our last Pro Rata reader survey, the vast majority of you are men. It's okay. I'm one too. And it's a reason I recommend you read this new piece from Axios' Kim Hart, who asked our female colleagues for their thoughts on why this past week has been so searing for so many. The other reason I recommend it is because it's just really good. Here's that link again.

• Yup, we're publishing on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) reportedly is in talks to sell its fresh foods business to a private equity consortium led by Jeff Dunn, the former CEO of Bolthouse Farms (sold to Campbell in 2012 for $1.55 billion) who later co-founded Campbell's in-house venture capital business.

• Why it's the BFD: Because this is thematically contrary to what's happening elsewhere in big food, where legacy brands have been busy buying up "healthier" product businesses. One big difference here is that Campbell is under major activist pressure from Dan Loeb, who has called for a sale of the entire company, and is in the midst of a proxy fight to replace all 12 Campbell directors.
• Also: No word yet on the private equity firms working with Dunn, but it's worth noting that Madison Dearborn Partners was the firm that sold Bolthouse to Campbell (for a 2.4x return).
• Bottom line: "The fresh foods unit, whose offerings include Bolthouse’s fresh carrots and refrigerated juices as well as Garden Fresh salsa and other products, has been plagued by supply-chain issues. Campbell has written down its value by about $1 billion. It could sell for between $500 million and $700 million, according to other people familiar with the business." — Annie Gasparo & Cara Lombardo, WSJ
