Elon Musk Backs Matt Gaetz as Attorney General Pick

Elon Musk has publicly defended Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, amid ongoing sexual misconduct allegations against Gaetz. Musk praised Gaetz's intelligence and determination, calling him the 'Judge Dredd America needs' to combat corruption. He dismissed the allegations as baseless, asserting that they are 'worth less than nothing' and emphasizing the principle of presumption of innocence. Gaetz is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, with claims that he paid women for sex and engaged in illicit drug use, which he denies. Despite the scrutiny, Trump remains confident in Gaetz's nomination and its potential impact on future appointments. The House Ethics Committee may soon release findings from its investigation, but Gaetz's recent resignation complicates matters for the committee.
