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.
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.
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.
