Trump offers Musk a preemptive pardon
Original: Trump offers Musk preemptive pardon
Reports say Donald Trump has offered Elon Musk a preemptive pardon, shielding the billionaire from any potential federal prosecution. The move would be an extraordinary use of presidential clemency for a close political ally, and it is drawing criticism from legal experts who question whether a pardon can cover crimes not yet charged, as well as commentary from supporters of both men.
Why now: The unusual pairing of a president-elect granting clemency to the world's richest man raises questions about their alliance and the limits of pardon power
