The Financial Times' Ed Luce discusses what makes X and Tesla's Elon Musk a danger to democracy.
When lawyers for Elon Musk’s “X Corp.” filed an antitrust lawsuit against advertisers in the Wichita Falls division of the Northern District of Texas, the case was destined for U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, who has several right-wing rulings to his resume. But the apparent judge-shopping was foiled Tuesday when O’Connor recused himself from the case. Why did he do so? His brief filing didn’t say.
Whatever the judge’s rationale or what comes of either suit , the episode highlights the absurdity of apparent judge shopping: As NPR pointed out, none of the parties in either case is based in Texas. The advertiser case was reassigned to another judge in the Northern District, Ed Kinkeade. The recusal occurred alongside another, unrelated legal development for Musk.
