Elon Musk: Hunter Biden pardon calls America's integrity into question  - 1

Billionaire Elon Musk has opined , that US President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden could negatively affect the integrity of America.

"I don't care about the drug problem, but questioning the integrity of the United States is not good," Musk wrote on the X social network, thus recalling that in 2018, when he bought a Colt Cobra revolver, Hunter Biden lied in writing saying he didn't use drugs, even though the law forbids drug addicts from owning firearms.

Biden signed pardons for his son Hunter in two court cases, despite repeated promises not to.

Hunter was awaiting trial on two criminal counts -- gun violations and tax evasion. "I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. "From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the decisions of the Department of Justice, and I kept my word even as I watched my son be selectively and unfairly prosecuted," Biden said in a statement. He noted that the persecution of his son was due to their family ties and pressure from political opponents of the head of state. According to him, the process "was infected with crude politics" and therefore a miscarriage of justice has occurred. "I hope the American people will understand why the father and the president made this decision,”, Biden said.

The text of the pardon specifies that Biden Jr. received it for all crimes "that he committed or may have committed or participated in during the period from January 1, 2014." until December 1, 2024“
