Almost half of the prospective jurors for a Twitter investor lawsuit against Elon Musk were disqualified because they declared their hatred for him.

    I think the point is that they need to “start” neutral, and then get an opinion once they get informed about his doings.

    The main problem is that he is an asshole of such an extent that it is hard to find someone who never heard of him (and therefore dislikes him)

      Him being an asshole doesn’t mean he did twitter fraud. I don’t think a trial showing he’s an asshole would be relevant in addressing the twitter fraud part. It’s similar to just because Al Capone is an extortionist murderer doesn’t mean he’s guilty of tax fraud.
