Elon Musk’s legal team formally requested Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen McCormick recuse herself from his cases, citing alleged bias after multiple rulings against him. The filing highlights a LinkedIn post where McCormick reportedly "supported" a celebration of Musk’s 2025 California fraud trial loss, framing it as a victory for "the little guy" over wealth. Musk’s attorneys argue the post demonstrates judicial partiality, undermining fairness in ongoing Delaware lawsuits involving Tesla, SpaceX, and his $56B pay package dispute. The dispute escalates Musk’s long-standing clashes with Delaware courts, where judges have repeatedly blocked his corporate maneuvers, including the 2024 Tesla relocation bid. Legal experts note recusal motions are rare but high-profile, with outcomes potentially influencing Musk’s future corporate governance battles and Delaware’s reputation as a business hub.
