Elon Musk Breaks Silence After His Only Problem With USA?s Brittney Griner Response Seemingly Solved

The U.S. government has been taking steps to bring WNBA star Brittney Griner back home from Russia. She has been detained in Russia for more than seven months now for the possession of cannabis oil. The Phoenix Mercury star pleaded guilty. She was then given a nine-year sentence by a Russian judge after a few hearings. However, the U.S. has characterized her as “wrongfully detained.” Despite multiple efforts from the government, there has been no success so far.

Ever since her arrest, there were suggestions that a Russian weapons dealer could be used in a prisoner swap to bring her back. But not everyone is a fan of this idea. Giving away a criminal who could try to hurt the country again just because she was a popular figure did not sit well with many fans. However, most celebrities did not have the same opinion.

Elon Musk gives his approval to the U.S. government’s announcement amid the Brittney Griner situation

Recently, the founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk took to Twitter to ask some hard-hitting questions. He shared a meme talking about the people in jail for cannabis in the country. And the country’s attempts to free Brittney Griner who had allegedly committed a similar offense. This garnered a lot of likes and comments. Interestingly, it looks like it also captured the attention of President Joe Biden and the government.

Biden was under pressure to make a statement after a public callout by someone as popular as Elon Musk. So the President’s official Twitter account shared his statement. It read, “As I?ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Today, I?m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.”

And Musk gave his stamp of approval with a “Thumbs up” emoji.
