Elon Musk’s lawyers assured a judge in San Francisco that the mercurial billionaire will show up next week to be questioned by securities regulators investigating his 2022 acquisition of Twitter Inc., after Musk ditched an earlier meeting to attend a rocket launch.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking information about Musk’s purchases of Twitter stock and statements he made about his investments before buying the social media platform for $44 billion. Regulators sent Musk a letter asking about the delayed disclosure of his Twitter stake.
