But OP isn't referring to insider trading. The comment was in regards to the timing of the information. The only time that I believe executives are restricted is during/after an IPO.

Another issue is making sure that material information is disclosed properly. Elon was essentially hinting that they were going to have a really good quarter. That kind of information is material and would likely need to be disclosed properly to all investors at once. However, I believe disclosing that information has nothing to do with the timing of earnings release. A company can disclose any information it would like at anytime, so long as it does so properly.

If I'm wrong, please let me know in reply. I'm very curious about whether I am making a mistake.

I didn't know that, how does it work with interviews then? Do they like disclose all info that will be said in the interview beforehand? I don't know much about this either, I'm also incredibly curious...

As I understand it, the key phrase is "material information". Changing CEO, closing a plant, laying people off, better/worse earnings news, and sales figures are all examples of material information.

What likely happens is the company releases the material information through proper channels and then company representatives use that information as talking points during an interview. Some new information could be given during the interview but it's likely to be minor stuff like specifics on features for a product.
