Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has publicly criticized the recent criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump, labeling it a “politically motivated” attack on the American legal system.
On his social media platform X, Musk voiced his concerns, stating, “Indeed, great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the American legal system.” He argued that if a former president could be convicted “over such a trivial matter,” then anyone could face similar politically motivated charges.
Musk, a known supporter of Trump, believes the conviction was driven by political agendas rather than a genuine pursuit of justice. This sentiment is shared by many Trump supporters who view the charges related to hush money payments as a minor offense blown out of proportion.
Despite the conviction, Trump, who is currently campaigning for re-election in 2024, remains eligible to both run for and be elected President. Trump has dismissed the verdict, asserting that the true judgment will be delivered by the American people in the upcoming presidential election.
