Elon Musk Must Testify in SEC's Twitter Investigation

Elon Musk Directed to Testify Again in SEC's Twitter Acquisition Probe

Elon Musk has been directed by a federal judge to testify once more in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's examination of his Twitter acquisition. The judge, U.S. Magistrate Laurel Beeler, has given both the SEC and Musk a week to come to an agreement on the date and location of the interview.

This order formalizes a preliminary ruling made by Beeler in December, supporting the regulator's position. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Musk in October, seeking to compel the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX to testify as part of an inquiry into his acquisition of social media platform Twitter in 2022, which he subsequently renamed X.

This is an ongoing story, and updates will be provided as they unfold.
