CNN —A federal judge ordered Elon Musk to testify again in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s probe of his $44 billion takeover of Twitter, giving the regulator and the billionaire a week to agree on a date and location for the interview.
Musk fought the SEC’s bid to interview him, saying it had already done so twice, and accused the regulator of harassment.
To settle that case, Musk agreed that a Tesla lawyer would vet his tweets about the electric vehicle maker.
The SEC sued him again in 2019 for allegedly breaching that provision.
Musk has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the agreement, saying it violates his constitutional right to free speech.
