"The motion for recusal rests on a false premise—that I support a LinkedIn post about Mr. Musk, which I do not in fact support. The motion for recusal is denied. But the motion for reassignment is granted."
"Sorry, Elon. Sorry, Quinn Emanuel. Thanks $2 billion for your help in this trial. It was a pleasure working against you. Congratulations to the trial team at Cotchett, Pitre and McCarthy, LLP and Bottini Law for standing up for the little guy against the richest man in the world."
Elon Musk is involved in legal disputes with Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, who is reassigning two cases against Tesla. Musk's attorneys requested her recusal based on her alleged support of a LinkedIn post criticizing him. McCormick denied the recusal motion, stating it was based on a false premise, but agreed to reassign the cases. The controversy originated from a sarcastic LinkedIn post by jury consultant Harry Plotkin, who commented on a California jury's ruling against Musk regarding misleading Twitter investors.
