During a recent interview, Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, launched a vehement critique against X chief Elon Musk, characterizing him as the world's "dumbest smart person" and accusing him of being indifferent to principles of free speech and democracy. Hunter Biden further asserted that Musk is a "very damaged human being" and accused him of disseminating misinformation about him.
In response to Hunter Biden's accusations, Elon Musk retaliated by mocking Hunter, referencing the controversial videos retrieved from a laptop left at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019. Musk questioned the nature of the alleged misinformation, stating on X, "Exactly what 'misinformation' is he talking about?" He further commented on Hunter Biden's videos, humorously suggesting that the individual should receive an award for cinematography due to the numerous self-incriminating recordings.
The verbal exchange occurred in the context of the Department of Justice filing new criminal charges against Hunter Biden, accusing him of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes while leading an opulent lifestyle. The charges include three felonies and six misdemeanor tax offenses, potentially subjecting Hunter Biden to up to 17 years in prison if convicted. The US Justice Department emphasized that its investigation into Hunter Biden remains ongoing, alleging his engagement in a four-year scheme to evade payment of federal taxes for tax years 2016 through 2019, as outlined in the indictment filed in US District Court in Central California.
