Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev defended the app’s decision to halt trading of GameStop stocks during last week’s trading turmoil, telling Tesla CEO Elon Musk during a webcast on Monday there was no “shadiness” involved and pushing back against what he referred to as “conspiracy theories.”

Musk grilled Tenev during an episode of “The Good Time Show” that aired on streaming site Clubhouse, which some fans streamed on YouTube and elsewhere after the Clubhouse app’s attendance limit of 5,000 in a single chat room was exceeded.
