Musk Endorses Deaton for Massachusetts Senate Race

Elon Musk has expressed his support for John Deaton, a pro-cryptocurrency attorney running against Elizabeth Warren for a Senate seat in Massachusetts. This endorsement aligns Musk with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who criticized Warren for her role in appointing SEC Chair Gary Gensler, seen as detrimental to the crypto industry. Deaton is known for his legal advocacy in high-profile crypto cases, including his involvement in Ripple's defense against the SEC. Warren, a vocal crypto critic, proposes stricter regulations, which Armstrong and Musk view as excessive government control. Musk's endorsement adds to Deaton's growing support from major crypto figures like the Winklevoss twins and Ripple's Chris Larsen. The race highlights a broader political struggle over cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S.
