Elon Musk may be compelled to testify again in SEC's Twitter takeover probe

Economic Times · 1y

A federal judge may compel Elon Musk to testify again in the SEC's investigation into his Twitter takeover. Lawyers for Musk argued against the SEC's request for him to testify, alleging harassment with subpoenas. The judge did not make a decision during the hearing. The investigation focuses on whether Musk violated securities laws during his 2022 purchase of Twitter, now known as X. Musk has previously provided documents and testified for the SEC, but the agency seeks further testimony due to new documents. This ongoing dispute stems from Musk's 2018 tweet about taking Tesla private.
