SEC Seeks Court Order to Force Elon Musk Testimony in Twitter Deal Probe

The SEC has applied for a court order to compel Elon Musk to testify in an ongoing probe about his Twitter acquisition and disclosures.

The SEC alleges Musk has refused to comply with an earlier subpoena requiring him to testify again.

The probe centers on whether Musk fully complied with disclosure rules when he began buying Twitter stock before his acquisition deal.

Musk testified twice last year as part of the probe and produced documents, but refused to appear for new testimony scheduled in September.

Musk's lawyer said he already testified twice and accused the SEC of seeking his testimony in bad faith to waste time.
