Musk shares post calling for Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin
"Elon Musk reposted a video from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on Tuesday calling for President Donald Trump to pardon the federal conviction of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd.
“Something to think about,” wrote Musk, who has been acting as an advisor to Trump, in the post on the social media platform X.
In the video Musk shared, Shapiro said pardoning Chauvin for federal charges would be “incredibly controversial, but I think that it’s absolutely necessary.”
Chauvin is serving two concurrent prison sentences for federal and state convictions after he knelt on the neck of Floyd, a Black man, for nine and a half minutes. Floyd’s killing sparked massive protests locally and nationwide calling for police reform and bringing heightened awareness around police brutality against people of color."
