In response to a user's tweet on Saturday, Garlinghouse lashed out at the SEC for suing the company, noting that there won't be any consequence to those who started it even if they prove to be wrong. He also claimed that the SEC's lawsuit was a show of power rather than a legitimate attempt to enforce the law.
"My outrage has grown as the litigation has unfolded," he said. "There is no recourse, there is no consequence to those that brought this lawsuit. The SEC’s pursuit of a policy objective isn’t about “a faithful allegiance to the law”. It’s about power."
Garlinghouse also mentioned there will be no "regard" for those affected by the SCE's actions, drawing attention to the agency's blatant lack of concern for individuals and companies that have been hurt by its approach
