The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated legal proceedings against Elon Musk due to his non-compliance with a subpoena. The financial authority is investigating whether the billionaire violated federal securities law with his Twitter purchase last year.

미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)가 엘론 머스크에 대한 소환장 불이행으로 소송을 제기했다. 금융당국은 이 억만장자가 지난해 트위터 구매로 연방 증권법을 위반했는지 여부를 조사하고 있다.

The SEC stated that Musk failed to appear to testify last month as requested despite having been served the subpoena since May. According to the regulator, it needs Musk’s testimony to obtain information relevant to its legitimate and lawful investigation.

SEC는 머스크가 5월부터 소환장을 받았음에도 불구하고 지난달 요청대로 증언에 나타나지 않았다고 밝혔다. 규제 기관에 따르면 합법적이고 합법적인 조사와 관련된 정보를 얻으려면 머스크의 증언이 필요합니다.

The SEC’s application for an order, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, relates to an ongoing investigation into potential violations of federal securities laws. Musk’s 2022 acquisitions of Twitter stock and his corresponding statements and SEC filings are under scrutiny. The SEC seeks Musk’s testimony to uncover information relevant to its lawful investigation, information that isn’t in the SEC’s possession currently.

Musk’s failure to comply with the subpoena is noteworthy given that he had agreed to testify in the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office on a mutually agreed date in September 2023, and had been served with the subpoena in May 2023. Musk raised no objections until two days before his scheduled testimony, when he informed the SEC of his non-attendance, offering several objections for the first time.

머스크가 2023년 9월 상호 합의한 날짜에 SEC 샌프란시스코 지역 사무소에서 증언하기로 동의했고 2023년 5월 소환장을 받았다는 점을 감안하면 머스크가 소환장을 준수하지 않은 것은 주목할 만하다. 머스크는 이틀까지 이의를 제기하지 않았다. 예정된 증언이 있기 전, 그는 SEC에 불출석 사실을 알리고 처음으로 몇 가지 이의를 제기했습니다.

The regulatory body filed the matter at a federal district court, examining Musk’s statements and disclosures about stock transactions linked to the social media platform. While the SEC continues its fact-finding investigation, the application for an order compelling Musk’s compliance is still pending the court’s ruling.

Musk has ambitious plans for the company now branded as X, including building it into a financial institution. However, he did not clarify whether Twitter’s payment features might involve cryptocurrency, despite hinting at possible Dogecoin payment options in April 2022.

머스크는 현재 X로 브랜드화된 회사를 금융 기관으로 전환하는 것을 포함하여 야심찬 계획을 가지고 있습니다. 그러나 그는 2022년 4월에 가능한 Dogecoin 결제 옵션을 암시했음에도 불구하고 트위터의 결제 기능에 암호화폐가 포함될 수 있는지 여부를 명확히 하지 않았습니다.

With Musk’s intentions for Twitter’s financial transformation under the spotlight, his unfulfilled commitment to the SEC now links the future of his digital ambitions with the ongoing securities investigation. As such, the wider implications of this development on both the tech and financial industries remain to be seen.
