Elon Musk reacts to Trump guilty verdict: ‘Troubling indeed’

Elon Musk said Thursday that the verdict in the trial against former President Donald Trump was “troubling indeed” and that the events did “great damage ... to the public’s faith in the American legal system.”  

Musk posted a response to billionaire Bill Ackman sharing a post from Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis that read, “Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to ‘get’ Donald Trump.”  

DeSantis, a former rival of Trump’s during the Republican primary wrote, “That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.”
