Elon Musk backs Matt Gaetz as attorney general despite misconduct allegations

Elon Musk expressed strong support for former Rep. Matt Gaetz as a potential attorney general on social media early Tuesday.

He compared Gaetz to the fictional character Judge Dredd, suggesting he could tackle corruption in the system. Musk dismissed the allegations against Gaetz as insignificant.
