"True," Musk said on X in response to a post by American writer Michael Shellenberger, saying that the foundation of the US legal system — Equal justice under law — is in grave danger, and "Biden is destroying the legitimacy of our democratic system."
Musk also agreed with Shellenberger’s thesis that the US Justice Department is actively preventing the prosecution of the president’s son, Hunter Biden, while seeking to imprison Biden’s political rival, former President Donald Trump.
In September 2020, a report by two US Republican senators revealed Hunter Biden and his associates were involved with foreign individuals in millions of dollars worth of questionable financial transactions.
The former US leader is facing criminal charges in Georgia for his alleged role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The legal cases also come amid Trump's re-election bid in the 2024 US presidential election.
