Elon Musk reacts again to reports that the Joe Biden administration is considering convicted #FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) for a presidential pardon.
There has been a significant debate regarding the possibility of the outgoing U.S. president, Joe Biden, granting an early pardon to SBF. This comes after popular Wall Street Mav first broke the news that Biden is considering SBF for a presidential pardon.
Notably, the news has gone viral, with prominent figures like Elon Musk sharing their views on the matter. As reported earlier, Musk, the founder of Tesla and a major Dogecoin proponent, commented on the matter, noting that he would be shocked if the Biden administration did not grant SBF a presidential pardon.
SBF Pardon “Will Fetch a Huge Price” — Musk
In a follow-up comment, he took a direct swipe at the Biden administration, suggesting that monetary considerations might influence presidential pardon.
Specifically, he alleged that the current administration is “selling” pardons. Consequently, the world’s richest man emphasized that SBF’s presidential pardon “will fetch a high price.”
This suggests that the SBF camp may be paying a premium to secure an early presidential pardon for Bankman-Fried.
Musk’s statement is no surprise to many, given his ongoing criticism of the current administration. His skepticism toward the Biden administration made him throw his weight behind Donald Trump in the just-concluded election, who eventually clinched the presidency in a landslide victory.
Following Trump’s reelection, he appointed Musk to head the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), a new agency tasked with reducing federal government expenditures.
