Elon Musk abruptly postponed a live CNBC interview on Friday just minutes before airtime, the network said, pulling out of a high-profile slot where he was due to discuss SpaceX's market debut, Tesla and his latest artificial intelligence model.
The interview had been heavily as a marquee business segment, with Musk expected to address the extraordinary surge in his personal fortune and the market frenzy around SpaceX. The postponement landed at a delicate moment for investors and regulators watching the first days of trading in the rocket maker, which merged earlier this year with Musk's AI company, xAI, before listing on public markets.
