This week, Hunter Biden was found guilty of three federal gun charges. A jury convicted him of lying to the federal government in an application to purchase a gun and for illegally owning a firearm.
It has yet to be determined what his fate will be. He could face a fine or jail time.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
Republicans have been sharing their opinions on the recent news, with President Trump referring to it as a distraction.
Elon Musk, known for advocating free speech and openly criticizing the Biden family, shared his perspective on this major development. Musk responded to Rep. Thomas Massie’s post regarding the conviction and made a significant statement about the Biden family as a whole.
From Fox Business:
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk weighed in on the guilty verdict handed down Tuesday to Hunter Biden, following his trial on federal gun charges…
Rep. Massie wrote:
Hunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it. There are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, and none of them should be in jail for purchasing or possessing a firearm against current laws.
Musk Responded:
I agree. He (and others) should be in jail for impugning the integrity of the United States by taking bribes for political favors, but not for this pseudo-crime.

Republican Thomas Massie said that there are “millions” of marijuana users who own guns and are not thrown in jail. He said Hunter Biden should be in jail for “something.” Musk responded by providing the “something.”
Musk said that Hunter and his family should be in jail for “taking bribes for political favors.” Musk called the gun charges “pseudo-crimes.” The billionaire appears to be promoting accusations made by Republican investigators. House Republicans have accused Joe and Hunter Biden of conducting a bribery ring while Biden Sr. was vice president.
They have pointed to communications from Hunter and witness testimony to back their claims. It is possible Joe and Hunter traded favors in exchange for money from Ukraine and China. Biden has firmly denied these claims, despite how damning the evidence looks.
