    The fact that we have so much of our politics in a private company is dangerous.

    Musk has the power AND ability to post tweets as if they were from any of the candidates.

    Not as a sock puppet. But as them directly.

    This is a dangerous ability.

    is this legal in US? that sounds absurd.

    and is it legal for a judge to be involved in business?

      There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.

      For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.
