Elon Musk supports Matt Gaetz for attorney general despite sex trafficking allegations

Elon Musk expressed strong support for Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, despite ongoing sex trafficking allegations against Gaetz. Musk described Gaetz as a necessary figure to combat corruption and criticized current Attorney General Merrick Garland. Musk dismissed the allegations against Gaetz, stating that a person is innocent until proven guilty. He suggested that if there were enough evidence, Garland would have pursued charges against Gaetz. Trump remains confident in Gaetz's nomination, even as some Senate Republicans show hesitance. The House Ethics Committee is investigating Gaetz, and a vote on releasing findings related to the allegations is scheduled for Wednesday.
