Elon Musk Agrees With Criticism of US Attorney General

Elon Musk on Wednesday offered a rare, direct public agreement with a critical remark aimed at U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Responding to a user’s post that accused Garland of being a ‘political hitman’ for President Biden, Musk simply replied ‘True,’ signaling his alignment with the criticism.

The brief endorsement from the billionaire tech CEO marks a notable political stance from Musk, who has increasingly engaged in political discourse on his platform X. While Musk has previously criticized certain government policies, directly seconding a personal attack on a sitting cabinet member is a more pointed intervention. The remark could further strain relations between Musk’s companies and the Biden administration, which has often been at odds with the Tesla and SpaceX chief over labor and antitrust issues.
