Elon Musk has asked Delaware Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick to recuse herself from two shareholder lawsuits, claiming bias after she appeared to react with an emoji to a LinkedIn post mocking him. The motion alleges judicial partiality and could delay proceedings, but is unlikely to produce material market moves for Musk-related stocks in the near term.
