Elon Musk suggests Trump's indictment is targeted - and warns justice system ... trends now

Elon Musk suggested the bombshell indictment of former President Donald Trump over classified document mishandling may be a politically motivated attack.

The billionaire Twitter owner warned the 2024 frontrunner's arrest sets a dangerous precedent that could erode public trust in the justice system if politicians are treated differently

'There does seem to be far higher interest in pursuing Trump compared to other people in politics,' he tweeted on Friday. 

'Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust.'

Musk's remarks came after Trump made history as the first former president to face federal charges, just months after he was also indicted in New York on charges related to a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels.  

The former president is facing over 100 years behind bars for a slew of federal charges related to the mishandling of classified information. 

The 76-year-old on Thursday said he had been told he was being indicted in relation to espionage - the first time in U.S. history that a former president has faced federal charges. 

Trump is facing four separate counts each carrying a potential prison time of 20 years: conspiracy to obstruct justice; withholding a document or record; corruptly concealing a document or record; and concealing a document in a federal investigation. 

One count carries a 10 year sentence: willful retention of national defense information.

And the final two counts have a maximum of five years each: scheme to conceal, and false statements and representations.

The indictment was announced by Trump on Thursday evening in a furious tirade posted to his social media site Truth Social. 

'The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware,' he said. 

'(There are) additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.' 

Trump was alluding to allegations that Joe Biden also mishandled classified materials, with the president's own legal
