U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler’s order, issued on Saturday evening, formalized a preliminary ruling she issued in December that sided with the regulator.

The SEC sued Musk in October to force the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to testify as part of an investigation into his 2022 purchase of Twitter, the social media giant that he subsequently renamed X.

Musk declined to attend an interview in September that was part of the investigation, the SEC said.

The agency is investigating whether Musk followed the law in filing required paperwork on his purchases of Twitter stock, and whether his statements regarding the deal were misleading.

Musk challenged the SEC’s bid to interview him, saying it had already been done twice, and accused the regulator of harassment.

Beeler rejected that argument. The SEC had the authority to issue the subpoena seeking relevant information, she said in the ruling.

If the SEC and Musk cannot agree on a date and time for the interview, Beeler said she will hear from both sides and decide for them.

The friction between Musk and the SEC began when the regulator charged him after he tweeted “financing secured” in 2018 regarding a possible plan to take Tesla private. To settle that case, Musk agreed to have a Tesla lawyer investigate his tweets about the electric vehicle maker.

The SEC sued him again in 2019 for allegedly violating that provision.

Musk has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the agreement, saying it violates his constitutional right to free speech.
