, Musk's attorney, Alex Spiro, argued that a"substantial portion of the jury pool in this District is likely to hold a personal and material bias against Mr. Musk as a result of recent layoffs at one of his companies as individual prospective jurors — or their friends and relatives — may have been personally impacted.
Spiro claimed such bias was compounded by"negative and inflammatory local publicity" around Musk's management of Twitter and that it would have made it impossible for Musk to get a fair trial in the city. He petitioned for the trial to take place in Texas instead; MuskIn a hearing Friday, US District Judge Edward Chen rejected the relocation request.."Mr. Musk does have a lot of fans out there.
After Musk's legal team asked to move the trial, lawyers for the Tesla shareholders in the case responded by"What they refer to as 'biased' coverage is, in fact, factual reporting about his management of Twitter, Inc., and has no bearing on the jury's ability to render a fair verdict," attorneys Adam Apton and Adam McCall wrote.
The shareholder's attorneys added that out of roughly 200 prospective jurors, only two or three said they knew someone who worked for Twitter.
Then in that case maybe there's more of that needs to go on in San Francisco besides just this
Great!
It's exactly like New Yorkers and Trump. They're not 'biased', they just know the guy for what he is, and that's what every lying fraud is afraid of.
elonmusk i don't know what to suggest you anymore... come to Germany or move to Texas! why I can't buy Twitter- it' mine anyway
Quite frankly, I don’t believe things you guys say. The quality of journalism that’s been pumped out of has seriously degraded over the last 5 years. Comparative to a glass of milk left out in the sun while bums shat in it.
But it's true, and Texas based individuals and businesses do have additional support on having their trials in Texas. elonmusk TexasTribune
