SEC Musk Indictment, Political Intention to Target Trump

Charles Gasparino, senior correspondent for Fox Business, said in X that “According to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official, the SEC's indictment of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, for securities law violations is strongly intended to be a targeted investigation targeting President-elect Donald Trump and Paul Atkins, who has been nominated as the next SEC chairman.” “This prosecution is seen as an attempt to promote a split between law enforcement agencies and the White House. “The Republican Party is raising suspicions that this prosecution is a political smear because the case could have been brought up weeks or months later, even though it was not a serious crime.”
