Musk shares post calling for Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin

What Happened: Elon Musk publicly urged Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin’s conviction for murdering George Floyd. Chauvin remains in prison on both federal and state murder charges.

Why It Matters: Musk is using his influence to push Trump toward rewriting history on police brutality. A pardon would be a direct attack on civil rights and an endorsement of white supremacist narratives. Even if Trump grants it, Chauvin will remain in prison for his state conviction.
