Elon Musk defends Matt Gaetz amid ongoing misconduct allegations
Elon Musk defended Matt Gaetz on social media, stating that Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes related to ongoing allegations of sexual misconduct. Musk dismissed the accusations as insignificant and expressed confidence in Gaetz's capabilities as a potential Attorney General. Gaetz is under investigation by a congressional ethics committee for claims involving drug use, bribery, and sexual activities with minors. However, he recently stepped down from Congress, which removes the committee's jurisdiction over him. The allegations include claims that Gaetz participated in parties involving illegal drugs and paid women for sex. Gaetz has denied these allegations, asserting that he has never engaged in sexual activity with anyone under 18.
