Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Musk’s lawyers file a motion for recusal, citing McCormick’s liking of an anti-Musk LinkedIn post. McCormick denies supporting the post and deactivates her account. Musk’s lawyers argue that McCormick’s actions are inflammatory and demonstrate bias. The incident is part of a larger pattern of tension between Musk and McCormick, who has presided over several high-stakes cases involving the tech billionaire.
Musk’s grievances with McCormick are now a familiar ritual, with each side accusing the other of bias and impropriety. The sequence of events has become predictable, with Musk’s lawyers filing motions and McCormick responding with denials. The performance has become a familiar dance, with each side playing its expected role.
And yet, in the midst of this familiar dance, a small detail stands out: McCormick’s staff member also liked an anti-Musk post. A small action, perhaps, but one that suggests that the bias may not be limited to the judge alone.
