The social media blowback for Delaware Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick came fast and furious after she blocked Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar Tesla Inc. payday for a second time, spotlighting the pressure that comes with ruling against the world’s richest person.
Musk posted “absolute corruption” on X shortly after the ruling late Monday and Tesla bull Cathie Wood railed against an “activist judge at its worst” who she accused of undermining the rights of shareholders. Other backers of the billionaire dubbed McCormick’s decision “insane.”
