If you can show me some strong correlation between x and Tesla stock, that doesn’t also correlate with the market as a whole, it would go a long way to proving that point. Other than that, it’s just speculation that it might influence the price of his own stock, which seems like an extremely tenuous claim as to why it’s reasonable to believe he should recuse himself.
Let me get this straight, just because they could stand to gain financially does not mean they should recuse themselves. Furthermore we have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt decision X results is Y extra money to satisfy you.
If you move the goalpost past Jupiter I guess there is no corruption at all. Keep moving along nothing to see here…
That is a pretty ridiculous response, frankly. If you’re saying this judge should step aside, you should be able to back that statement up with at least some evidence.
There are plenty of judges without this conflict of interest available. They recuse themselves because ethically it is what is right. There is no shame, it is normal procedure.
A judge who has a large investment should not rule on a case that they have a financial interest in. Even if you believe they could remain impartial it breeds distrust in the process.
So you are arguing they should prove 100% that their claim is true but that is not how it works. Corruption is a real issue and your hand waving isn’t making it go away.
You’re treating the fact this is a conflict of interest as a foregone conclusion, and I’m not convinced the link between the two is strong enough to be a concern.
Elon’s companies have had financial trends that ebb and flow with the whims of the influence of their owner, intended and otherwise, the correlation is:
Same owner, pretty simple.

You could have just said it was speculation. All the attacks and lies about what I am doing or what would satisfy me were completely unnecessary.

A couple years ago Musk made a tweet and tanked tesla’s stock with it.

They have the same owner.
Elons purchase of twatter is backed by tesla shares.
He might need to sell TSLA stock to bail out Twatter.
Does it though?
