US regulators are investigating Elon Musk’s role in shaping Tesla Inc’s self-driving car claims, the latest effort by watchdogs to scrutinise the actions of the world’s second-richest person.
The review is part of an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission probe of the company’s statements about its Autopilot driver-assistance system, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified discussing aspects of the investigation that haven’t been disclosed.
