(Reuters) – The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating Elon Musk’s delayed disclosure of his sizable stake in Twitter Inc (NYSE:) last month, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The SEC and the Tesla (NASDAQ:) Inc top boss did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
On April 4, Musk disclosed a 9.2% stake in Twitter, making him the micro-blogging site’s largest shareholder. A week later, he clinched a $44 billion deal to buy the company.
Separately, the Information earlier reported that the Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether Musk violated a law that requires companies and people to report certain large transactions to antitrust-enforcement agencies.
