US federal court orders Musk to testify again in Twitter takeover probe
美国联邦法院命令马斯克在 Twitter 收购调查中再次作证

A federal court has ruled that Elon Musk must testify again in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation into his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Musk in October after he declined to attend an interview for the investigation, accusing the agency of harassment through multiple subpoenas.
联邦法院裁定，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）必须在美国证券交易委员会对他440亿美元收购Twitter的调查中再次作证。SEC拒绝参加调查采访后，于10月对马斯克提起诉讼，指控该机构通过多个传票进行了骚扰。

The investigation revolves around whether Musk violated federal securities laws in 2022 when he purchased stock in Twitter, subsequently renamed X. It also examines statements and SEC filings made by Musk regarding the deal. US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler previously ruled in favour of compelling Musk’s deposition, a decision upheld by US District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley.
调查围绕着马斯克在2022年在Twitter购买股票时是否违反了联邦证券法，随后更名为X。它还研究了Musk关于该交易的声明和SEC申请。美国地方法院法官劳雷尔·贝勒（Laurel Beeler）此前曾裁定强迫马斯克的证词，这是美国地方法院法官杰奎琳·斯科特·科利（Jacqueline Scott Corley）坚持的决定。

This development is the latest episode in an ongoing feud between Musk and the SEC, dating back to 2018 when Musk tweeted about having ‘funding secured’ to take Tesla private. Musk provided documents to the SEC for its investigation in 2022 and testified via videoconference for two half-day sessions in July of that year. The SEC, however, expressed the need for further questioning after receiving new documents, leading to the court’s decision to compel Musk’s testimony once again.
这一发展是马斯克与SEC之间正在进行的争执中的最新一集，它可以追溯到2018年，当时马斯克在推特上发布了有关“获得资金获得的”以将特斯拉私有化的推文。马斯克（Musk）向SEC提供了2022年调查的文件，并通过视频会议在当年的7月进行了两个半天的会议作证。但是，SEC在收到新文件后表示需要进一步询问，这导致法院决定再次强迫马斯克的证词。
