    Oh, so if a judge has a vested interest in more than 1 party, then they should recuse themselves from the case.
    Good to know where the line is

      The judge’s argument is that Tesla, which he owns stock in, isn’t a party in the suit against Media Matters, just X. It’s a pretty stupid argument, but he wouldn’t be able to hurt Media Matters if he recused himself.
