【Musk responds to speculation about 'Biden possibly pardoning SBF': 'I would be shocked if this doesn't happen'】On December 23, Musk replied to a tweet regarding 'guess who might get a pardon from President Biden early, the second largest Democratic donor (the image features an AI-generated photo of Biden with SBF)' stating, 'I would be shocked if this doesn't happen.' Note: Biden will officially leave office as President of the United States on January 20, 2025, at noon, transferring presidential power to the elected President Trump. A presidential pardon in the United States refers to the president's forgiveness of a person convicted of federal crimes (excluding violations of state laws). Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution grants the president the power to grant pardons. If the person being pardoned does not accept the pardon, then the presidential pardon does not take effect.
