The federal judge who was initially assigned last week to preside over a civil lawsuit fired Twitter executives filed against X’s Elon Musk disqualified himself from the case without explanation on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam of the Northern District of California issued an order sua sponte — that is, on his own, without either party in case lodging a request — to recuse himself.
