Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been ordered to testify for a third time as part of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) investigation into his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, now known as X, in 2022. The order was issued by Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler, who has given Musk and the SEC a week to agree on a date and location for the testimony.
Judge Beeler's order comes after the two sides failed to reach an agreement during a court hearing last December. In her order, Beeler noted that Musk had initially agreed to a date but failed to appear, claiming that the SEC's investigation was baseless and harassing and sought irrelevant information.
