Elon Musk waves off Hunter Biden verdict, says more serious crime is 'taking bribes'
SUMMARY
Elon Musk weighed in on Hunter Biden's guilty verdict in a federal gun trial, aligning with Rep. Thomas Massie's view that the charges were unwarranted. Musk asserted that while Hunter may deserve punishment for other offenses, the gun purchase wasn't a valid reason. He suggested that Hunter should be held accountable for actions such as accepting bribes for political favors, rather than for what he termed a "pseudo-crime." Hunter Biden was found guilty of three charges related to false statements on a federal gun form and possession of a firearm while addicted to drugs. Hunter faces a maximum of 25 years in prison, but his first-time offender status may result in a shorter sentence.
