Musk’s SEC Subpoena Fight Carries on After Court’s Oops Moment

Elon Musk will get another chance to resist testifying in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s probe of his 2022 Twitter Inc. acquisition after a federal magistrate said she erred in ordering him to comply with a subpoena.

It turns out Musk is entitled to make his case to a higher-ranking US district judge about why he shouldn’t have to testify — which was recognized Friday by a San Francisco magistrate judge who said her Feb. 10 order enforcing the subpoena will now be just a recommendation.
