The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are suing Elon Musk to force him to testify after he refused to cooperate in the investigation into his purchase of Twitter.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asked a federal court to order him to comply with their request that he sit for a third session of testimony about the deal.

The move to sue followed receipt of a letter from a lawyer for Mr Musk, which said he refused to appear as requested.

It accused the SEC of "harassment".
