The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that it is seeking sanctions against billionaire Elon Musk for failing to appear and provide testimony to the financial regulator about the $44 billion purchase of the Twitter platform.
According to court documents, the meeting was originally slated for September 19, 2024, and legal representatives for Musk sought to have the date rescheduled several times.
The SEC has accused Musk of violating the terms of the agreement by failing to obtain “written consent of the SEC or order of the Court” to modify his meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
