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.

This one is funny in a weird way.

I've read that Chauvin plead guilty to the federal crimes because the federal sentence takes precedence over the state's sentence. So he did it to go to federal prison which gives him a better quality of life while he is serving his time. If he would accept the pardon, he would not be freed; he would be transferred to the state prison to serve the term of his state sentence there.
