United States: In a shocking and outrageous move, President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is going after Elon Musk just because he supported Donald Trump. Musk, a well-known billionaire, wanted to help people vote in battleground states by giving away $1 million.
But instead of respecting his choice, the DOJ sent him a threatening letter, suggesting he might be breaking the law. And the timing? Right before the election, it was clearly aimed at scaring Musk and anyone else who might want to support Trump.
Federal Elections Committee (FEC) Chair Sean Cooksey is calling this out as a big misuse of power, comparing it to the government abuses seen in Watergate. He says Biden’s DOJ isn’t just interested in fairness—it’s out to silence Trump supporters in key states. This is not what the American people know and love. How can it be right to attack someone just for supporting a different candidate?
It gets worse.
Cooksey says the DOJ leaked this information to The New York Times, hoping to smear Musk and scare other supporters into silence. This dirty tactic breaks DOJ rules that say you shouldn’t release private information just to damage someone’s reputation. In a strong letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Cooksey demanded that these “bad actors” be removed from their jobs and that the government stop bullying citizens.
For Americans who care about freedom, this feels like a punch to the gut. Musk, who’s expected to join Trump’s Cabinet soon to help reduce government waste, isn’t just a target—he’s a symbol of the fight against powerful government overreach. This attack on Musk should make everyone think: is our country still free, or are we living in a world where supporting Trump could make you the government’s next target?
