We seriously need to come together as a society and do something about this asshat. He’s tying up the courts with bullshit suits and causing real harm to regular people on a frequent basis.

Jesus, it took a news outlet exposing his conflicts of interest to make the judge recuse himself? The judiciary is in real need of ethics reform. If you’re a judge who is going to be presiding over cases between corporations you shouldn’t be owning any individual stocks to begin with, WTF are these people doing.

I know our courts are corrupt, but I have to believe there is a virtually zero percent chance Musk wins this. Aside from being idiotic, a win would completely break advertising and business in general.

Musk was always a piece of garbage, but I really believe having a billion+ in wealth breaks your brain. He’s just astounded that anyone could cross him and get away with it.

He stepped aside because he is invested in both parties. I guarantee you if he was only invested in one side, he would claim that he would be impartial.
