Mr Chen also declined to disqualify a person who wrote that “the cars are beautiful, but Mr. Musk is an idiot.” The challenge is to weed out anyone who might be biased from a pool of about 200 prospective candidates, of which 82 per cent who acknowledged having an opinion about the billionaire said in the questionnaires that they view him negatively.
Mr Spiro argued in a filing that the questionnaires show “not only that a vast majority of potential jurors hold ill-will toward Mr Musk, but that they are not afraid to declare it proudly and vividly to the court.” Mr Spiro wasn’t able Friday to convince Justice Chen to move Mr Musk’s latest trial out of the city that is home to Twitter, even with the argument that “local negativity” has run high ever since Mr Musk acquired the social networking company in October and started slashing its workforce.
