Elon Musk, the owner of X and SpaceX, has weighed in on the verdict of Trump’s civil fraud case by questioning who the supposed victim is, given that all loans extended to Trump were reportedly repaid with interest. The case, brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump and his companies, resulted in Trump being ordered to repay over $350 million.
In response to the verdict, Musk took to X to pose a straightforward query: “Given that there were no victims with losses, who is supposed to receive the money?” Musk’s question underscores his skepticism regarding the outcome of the case and raises concerns about the fairness of the legal system.
Musk has been vocal about his apprehensions regarding the potential weaponization of the justice system under the Biden Administration and Democrat-controlled states. Earlier this month, Musk expressed frustration over the decision by Special Counsel Robert Hur not to press charges in a case involving Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Despite acknowledging Biden’s mishandling, Hur argued against pressing charges, citing concerns that potential jurors might perceive Biden as an elderly individual incapable of criminal actions.
Furthermore, Musk’s actions as the owner of Twitter, now known as X, have drawn scrutiny from various government agencies. He currently faces a lawsuit from the Biden Administration for alleged discriminatory hiring practices at SpaceX, with prosecutors alleging insufficient hiring of immigrants. Musk has dismissed the lawsuit as politically motivated, highlighting inconsistencies in the government’s regulations regarding foreign employment, particularly in military technology sectors.
Additionally, Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is under investigation by the SEC, which has issued a subpoena seeking Musk’s testimony. Musk has criticized the SEC’s actions, calling for a comprehensive overhaul of federal agencies to prevent political targeting and suggesting the establishment of a commission to address regulatory abuse for personal and political gain.
In sum, Musk’s comments reflect his concerns about the fairness and integrity of the legal and regulatory systems, particularly in cases involving high-profile individuals and politically charged matters.
