Mystery surrounds Musk interview with US regulators

Musk abruptly cancelled a deposition with government lawyers and now they fear he'll ghost them again.

For the 10 September court hearing, the SEC said it spent thousands of dollars to dispatch three lawyers - two from San Francisco and another from Washington DC -so they could take a sworn deposition from the billionaire tech mogul. Mr Musk, his lawyers wrote in a declaration, had urgently travelled to the East Coast a day earlier for a "high-risk" launch by his rocket company SpaceX. Thursday's planned interview is part of a high-level investigation into whether Mr Musk waited too long to disclose he was building up a stake in Twitter before acquiring the social media platform in 2022.
