Elon Musk took to his social media network to attack the judge in the trial he lost last week when a jury found the billionaire defrauded Twitter Inc. shareholders before acquiring the platform in 2022.

“Probability of me getting a fair trial if this is how the judge dresses is 0.0%,” Musk posted on what’s now known as X to his millions of followers. He was reposting a comment from another X account about Senior US District Judge Charles Breyer that included a smiling photo of the 84-year-old judge wearing his trademark red bowtie.
