X owner Elon Musk made some discerning predictions about the 2024 presidential election and how the political witch hunt against Donald Trump will affect the outcome.
Musk was responding to a post by Foundation for Freedom Online executive director Mike Benz, who expressed dismay about the lawsuits launched against Trump.
“The judge is so financially conflicted he wouldn’t even be allowed on the jury. The star witness is a multi-crime convicted felon who in most states wouldn’t even be allowed to vote,” Benz wrote.

Benz was referring to the testimony of convicted felon Michael Cohen and the revelations that Judge Juan Merchan donated to Joe Biden’s election campaign in 2020, The New York Post reported.
According to Federal Election Commission records, Merchan donated money to Biden’s campaign and to the far-left Democratic organization ActBlue.
While his donations were small, they do show where his ideals lie.
Meanwhile, the Post reported that the judge’s daughter has clients who have raised $93 million from the trial.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung blasted the judge and his daughter, saying:
“Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge’s daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out.”
“The judge should do the right thing and immediately recuse himself in order to show the American people that the Democrats have not destroyed our justice system completely,” Cheung added.
“Him continuing to be involved in this Crooked Joe Biden-directed Witch Hunt is a complete violation of applicable rules, regulations, and ethics.”

With all this in the news, Elon Musk replied to Benz’s post with a logical reply to all this where it concerns the polls.
“The more unfair the attacks on Trump seem to the public, the higher he will rise in the polls,” Musk wrote.

Trump’s poll numbers have been doing nothing but rising all year, showing that voters are not buying the attempted smear campaign against the former president.
The New York Times even pointed out that Donald Trump has “upended the Electoral map,” as polls show that five of six battleground states currently favor Trump.
It’s hard to argue against Musk’s logic, as every attack against Trump makes him more popular, even with those outside his base.
