Elon Musk's X has updated its terms of service to require users to file any disputes exclusively in the federal court for the northern district of Texas.
The choice of the northern district of Texas is notable as it tends to favor conservative litigants, unlike the western district where X is actually located.
Law professor Stephen Vladeck suggests the terms of service change reflects an effort to benefit from favorable judicial outcomes in politically charged cases.
X has already initiated lawsuits in the northern district regarding ad issues after brands distanced themselves, highlighting the district's strategic importance for the company.
