Musk's X Directs Legal Disputes to Conservative Texas Court

The updated terms of service mandate that all lawsuits against X be filed in the Northern District of Texas, known for its conservative rulings.

The new terms of service for X, effective November 15, require all user lawsuits to be filed in the Northern District of Texas or state courts in Tarrant County.
This district is favored by conservative activists and has a high number of Republican-appointed judges, raising concerns about 'judge-shopping.'
X's headquarters are in Bastrop, Texas, part of the Western District, which has fewer Republican-appointed judges.
Judge Reed O'Connor, known for conservative rulings, has been involved in X's lawsuits, including one against Media Matters.
O'Connor recused himself from an antitrust case involving X due to owning Tesla shares but remains on the Media Matters case.
