Billionaire Elon Musk, who has taken an active role in Republican politics during the presidential campaign and since Donald Trump's victory, defended the nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general, lashing out at his critics and dismissing the House Ethics Committee against him, which has been described as "highly damaging."
"Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind. He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison. Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice," Musk said in a post on his social media platform, X.
