Judge Reed O’Connor recused himself from X’s antitrust lawsuit against advertisers after NPR reported on his Tesla stock holdings. But it seems he’s still on another X suit.
A Texas judge who was assigned two cases involving Elon Musk’s X platform has recused himself from one of them, shortly after a report that he owns stock in Tesla. US District Court Judge Reed O’Connor was assigned to X’s recent antitrust lawsuit against advertisers over their boycott of the service, as well as a separate case against Media Matters, which the company sued for a report showing that X displayed ads from major brands next to pro-Nazi content.
That gives plaintiffs an unusual level of certainty in who will likely hear their case. X and the suits’ defendants are not based in Texas, though Musk said recently he plans to move it to Texas. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Critics have accused X of forum shopping, or looking for a sympathetic judge or district to file its cases.
