The SEC is sick of Elon Musk’s attempts to delay its Twitter investigation


Musk has allegedly evaded attempts to interview him since April 2023.

In a new filing on Wednesday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Musk of trying to “misrepresent” the scope of its investigation, claiming that he “persists with baseless constitutional objections” against its attempts to make him testify. On February 10th, a federal judge ordered Musk to cooperate in the SEC’s investigation, asserting that if a date and location for the interview couldn’t be agreed upon between the parties within a week then the decision would be made for them. Interestingly, the SEC filing also mentions that Walter Isaacson’s biography on Musk — which allegedly “provides important new information” relevant to the investigation — was published three days before he failed to show up for testimony in September 2023.
