Musk, Tesla Denied Hearing Over Alleged SEC ‘Harassment’

Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. were denied a court hearing on their claims that the SEC is targeting them with an “unrelenting investigation” in retaliation for criticisms of the government.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan on Thursday said it wasn’t clear what the company and its chief executive officer were asking for in a Feb. 17 letter complaining that they were being targeted with “endless probes” by the regulator.
