Elon Musk’s X updated its terms of service to steer user lawsuits to US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the same court where a judge who bought Tesla stock is overseeing an X lawsuit against the nonprofit Media Matters for America.
The new terms that apply to users of the X social network say that all disputes related to the terms “will be brought exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.”
X recently moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas, but the new headquarters are not in the Northern District or Tarrant County. X’s headquarters are in Bastrop, the county seat of Bastrop County, which is served by US District Court for the Western District of Texas.
And changed the twitter ToS to require suits in a specific part of texas.
So we’re just going past the line of obviously corrupt without batting an eye? They even tell us now. Written. Legally binding.
