Elon Musk shows support for Trump
Following the official verdict in Trump’s case, Elon Musk shared a post via X about the results. A couple of hours ago, Musk said that great damage was done to the public’s faith in the American legal system.
He continued and said that if a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter, motivated by politics, rather than justice, then this means that anyone is at risk of a similar fate.

Recent reports from Bloomberg noted that Musk and Trump have been discussing crypto-related matters.
The publication also noted that they have been addressing “ways for the tech entrepreneur to take on a broad advisory role if Trump wins a second term in November, though the exact format of that arrangement is still under discussion, a person familiar said.”
However, Musk denied talking crypto with the former US President. On the other hand, he said that he is in favor of digital assets.
Pretty sure I’ve never discussed crypto with Trump, although I am generally in favor of things that shift power from government to the people, which crypto can do
