Elon Musk: Judge's Bias Forced Me to Pay Full $44 Billion for Twitter

• Elon Musk testified that a Delaware judge's "extreme bias" forced him to pay the full $44 billion for Twitter in 2022.
• Musk's lawyers advised him he had "no choice" but to complete the deal, citing Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick's pretrial rulings favoring Twitter.
• The testimony occurred during a San Francisco trial where Twitter investors claim Musk defrauded them by manipulating share prices.
• Musk previously moved Tesla from Delaware to Texas after McCormick twice voided his Tesla pay package.
