Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, recently made waves on social media by suggesting that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) could receive a pardon from President Joe Biden. In a tweet, Musk stated that it would be "really surprising" if SBF did not receive a pardon in the near future. SBF is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn (MDC) after being convicted on multiple fraud charges related to the collapse of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange he founded. Musk's comments have sparked speculation, as SBF has been a significant donor to Democratic candidates and causes. FTX donated $5.2 million to Biden's 2020 campaign and $40 million to Democrats overall. Following the collapse of FTX, Democrats announced that they would return some of these donations, but it is unclear how much has been returned to date. SBF has appealed his fraud conviction, claiming that the judge overseeing his case was biased against him. However, a U.S. appeals court recently rejected SBF's appeal. It remains to be seen whether Biden will consider granting SBF a pardon. The White House has not commented on Musk's prediction, and it is unclear what factors Biden would weigh in making such a decision.
