Elon Musk

[Angrboda]

Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter drama is finally headed to trial—but first came the harder task: finding jurors who don’t loathe the world’s richest man.

Nine jurors were seated Thursday in San Francisco federal court after the judge spent more than five hours slicing through a pool of 93 prospective jurors in the investor class action suit against Musk, according to reporting by Bloomberg Law.

Nearly 40 prospective jurors were swiftly dismissed after admitting they could not put their biases aside.

One man wrote in his questionnaire that if this were a criminal trial, he would feel a “moral obligation” to convict Musk and send him to prison.

Another said she hated how Musk fired content moderators after taking over Twitter. She was dismissed despite claiming she could be fair.

One woman praised Musk as a “brilliant scientist” who had helped humanity—but conceded under questioning that she would be nervous if she were representing the investors and she ended up on the jury. She, too, was eliminated.

I empathize with the dismissed prospective jurors.
