Elon Musk moves all X lawsuits to ‘conservative’ Texas court; here’s why

US billionaire Elon Musk has specified that all legal disputes involving his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), must now be addressed in the Northern District of Texas, effective from November 15, according to a report in The Washington Post.

This shift is seen by experts as a strategic move, often called ‘forum shopping’, aimed at securing more favourable outcomes in a court district aligned with conservative viewpoints.
