Elon Musk defends Matt Gaetz against misconduct allegations calling them worthless

Elon Musk has defended Matt Gaetz amid sexual misconduct allegations, calling them "worth less than nothing." Gaetz, nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general, has denied all accusations, claiming they are politically motivated. Musk emphasized the presumption of innocence under the law. The Department of Justice closed its investigation into Gaetz in February 2023 without filing charges. However, the House Ethics Committee is still reviewing allegations against him, including sharing inappropriate content. Gaetz resigned from Congress on November 15, which affected the Committee's jurisdiction. Despite the ongoing investigations, Trump's team supports Gaetz's nomination, stating the allegations are baseless. They assert that the Biden Justice Department cleared Gaetz of wrongdoing, while others involved in the case have faced charges.
