Referencing regular protests and picket lines in front of Musk's offices in San Francisco — some of which, Spiro said, are"endorsed and encouraged by local political figures" — Musk's attorneys noted in the filing that the"negativity toward Mr. Musk was not isolated to the press" and"will deprive him of an impartial jury and his constitutional right to a fair trial.
Should the request for a venue transfer not be granted by the court, Spiro requested a continuance to delay the trial, arguing the judge should allow time for"the passions that have been inflamed" by"recent events and biased local media coverage to dissipate" before jurors hear the case., just four days before the trial is set to begin.
