Elon Musk Backs Matt Gaetz for Attorney General

Elon Musk has publicly defended Matt Gaetz, Trump's controversial nominee for U.S. Attorney General, amidst serious allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims of involvement with minors and drug use. Musk labeled these allegations as 'worth less than nothing' and emphasized that Gaetz, who resigned from Congress just before a report on the allegations was to be released, is innocent until proven guilty. He praised Gaetz's qualifications for the Attorney General role, likening him to the comic book character Judge Dredd and calling him the 'Hammer of Justice'. Despite the House Ethics Committee's ongoing investigation into Gaetz's conduct, which has drawn bipartisan scrutiny, no criminal charges have been filed against him by the Department of Justice. Musk's remarks have intensified the debate over Gaetz's nomination, with some Republican senators advocating for the publication of the Ethics Committee's report. The political landscape remains divided, as Gaetz's potential confirmation hinges on Senate approval amidst these controversies.
