Elon Musk Urges Equal Pursuit of Justice to Avoid Losing American Public’s Trust

The Epoch Times Header

Elon Musk has called on the U.S. justice system to pursue Democrats and Republicans in a non-partisan fashion, as the tech CEO reacted to remarks on this week’s arraignment hearing of former President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, Trump was charged in New York City with 34 counts of felony falsifying business records to the first degree. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, which were unveiled at a courtroom in Manhattan.

Musk’s comment was in reaction to a tweet from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who contended on the micro-blogging website that Trump “will have a fair trial” that will follow “the facts and the law.”

“There’s no place in our justice system for any outside influence or intimidation in the legal process,” Schumer said. “As the trial proceeds, protest is an American right, but all protests must be peaceful.”

Musk responded to Schumer’s post that it’s crucial for the U.S. justice system to “pursue Democrats and Republicans with equal vigor” in order to avoid losing the trust of the American people.

“Whichever party most puts justice before nepotism is the one that deserves trust,” the Tesla executive said.

Musk, a frequent critic of some of President Joe Biden’s policies, has echoed similar sentiments as many Trump supporters and Republican lawmakers, who’ve said the criminal charges against the former commander-in-chief would only reversely boost his 2024 presidential campaign.

The SpaceX founder predicted last month that Trump would be reelected in a “landslide victory” if he were to be arrested, especially if he would be handcuffed and fingerprinted at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan.

Legal Jeopardy

While delivering remarks from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida hours after pleading not guilty in Manhattan, Trump said he “never thought anything like this could happen in America,” warning that the United States had sunk to the level of the “old Soviet Union.”

“As it turns out, everyone who has looked at this case, including RINOs, and even hardcore Democrats, says there is no crime and it should never have been brought. Never have been brought,” Trump told an invite-only audience of about 500 people.

“It’s an insult to our country,” he added, “and the world is already laughing at us.”
