Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and owner of the social media platform X, is gearing up to host a town hall for former President Donald Trump on his platform. This comes after Musk publicly criticized Trump’s recent conviction, expressing concern over the implications of the verdict. A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records connected to payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Musk condemned the conviction, calling it politically motivated and warning that it sets a dangerous precedent.
Additionally, Musk plans to host a town hall on X for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Musk’s involvement in these high-profile political events highlights his active engagement in the political discourse and his platform’s growing influence. His remarks following Trump’s conviction emphasize his belief that the case represents a broader threat to justice, suggesting that if a former President can face such charges, it could happen to anyone, thus sparking significant debate and attention.
