Musk supports Gaetz for attorney general as new misconduct allegations emerge

Elon Musk defended former Rep. Matt Gaetz as President-elect Trump's choice for attorney general amid new sexual misconduct allegations. A lawyer claims Gaetz paid women for sex, complicating his Senate confirmation prospects. The House Ethics Committee is set to meet, but it remains unclear if it will release a report on Gaetz's alleged misconduct. Gaetz resigned before a vote could take place, and the committee cannot investigate former members. Trump reportedly believes Gaetz faces a tough confirmation battle in the Senate. Some Republican senators have expressed doubts about his chances, while no GOP senator has publicly committed to opposing him.
