Fred Lambert, Electrek:

Elon Musk’s legal team filed a motion for mistrial in the ongoing Twitter securities fraud class action lawsuit in San Francisco, arguing that the plaintiffs’ lawyers and the judge have created an environment where Musk cannot get a fair trial. […]

The filing’s most notable argument is arguably its most candid. Musk’s lawyers explicitly acknowledge what was evident during jury selection: the San Francisco jury pool harbors significant animosity toward Musk. Nearly 40 prospective jurors were dismissed during jury selection for admitting they could not set aside their biases, a striking number that reflects how Musk’s public profile has shifted since 2022.

I’m shocked (shocked) to learn it was difficult to find not-anti-Musk San Franciscans.
