The SEC accuses Elon Musk of employing delay tactics and misrepresenting the investigation's scope, as his testimony remains pending.

  • The SEC has been investigating Elon Musk since 2022 for potential violations of federal securities laws during his acquisition of Twitter.

  • A federal judge ordered Musk to testify in February, but his testimony has still not taken place.
  • The SEC's filing references a biography on Musk, suggesting it contains new information relevant to the investigation.
  • Musk's legal team claims the investigation is an 'unbounded investigation into an allegedly days-late SEC filing,' a claim the SEC disputes.
