Elon Musk defends Matt Gaetz, dismisses allegations as worthless
Elon Musk defended former Rep. Matt Gaetz, calling allegations against him "worth less than nothing." Gaetz, nominated for attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump, resigned last week amid scrutiny from both parties regarding misconduct claims. The House Ethics Committee is set to discuss a report detailing allegations against Gaetz, including sexual misconduct and drug use. Senators from both parties want to review the report before voting on Gaetz's nomination next year. Musk criticized Attorney General Merrick Garland and emphasized the principle of innocence until proven guilty. Gaetz's confirmation faces uncertainty in the Republican-controlled Senate due to the ongoing allegations.
