Texas judge in lawsuit by Elon Musk’s X against advertisers exits case

A federal judge in Texas assigned to hear a lawsuit by Elon Musk’s social media platform X against a group of advertisers has removed himself from the case following reports that he owned shares of another Musk company, Tesla.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth, Texas did not give a reason in his one-paragraph recusal filing on Tuesday.
