Judge Reed O'Connor Presiding Over Elon Musk's Lawsuits

U.S. Federal Judge Reed O'Connor, who is a member of the Federalist Society, has presided over two lawsuits filed by Elon Musk's social media company X. O'Connor has delivered pro-Musk decisions, raising concerns about his impartiality due to his investment in Tesla stock. Musk's legal team intentionally chose O'Connor's court for a sympathetic outcome, leading to questions of forum shopping. O'Connor's rulings could impact Tesla's stock price, and legal ethics experts have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
