Elon Musk supports Matt Gaetz for attorney general amid misconduct allegations
Elon Musk has publicly supported Matt Gaetz for the position of attorney general, despite ongoing sexual misconduct allegations against him. Gaetz resigned from Congress shortly after Donald Trump nominated him, which limited the House Ethics Committee's ability to release its findings. Musk described Gaetz as a "Hammer of Justice" and emphasized his qualifications for the role. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, but allegations include paying for sex and inappropriate conduct with a minor. Other Trump cabinet nominees, including Peter Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also face scrutiny over their past behavior. The House Ethics Committee is set to meet soon to discuss whether to release its report on Gaetz.
