Judge rejects Elon Musk’s attempt to avoid testifying in Twitter stock probe

Elon Musk can't avoid testifying in an investigation into whether he violated federal securities laws, a magistrate judge said during a court hearing yesterday.

The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Musk in October to force him to testify for a third time in a probe related to purchases of Twitter stock he made before he bought the company. Musk responded in November by asking the court to block the SEC's subpoena, claiming the agency is "harassing" him, exceeding its authority to investigate, and making "overly burdensome" demands for "irrelevant evidence."

Musk's arguments were rejected during a hearing yesterday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. No formal ruling has been issued yet, but a magistrate judge made it clear she will rule in the SEC's favor if Musk doesn't appear for testimony.
