Tesla founder Elon Musk has expressed his support for pro-XRP attorney John Deaton, who is running in the upcoming Senate elections in Massachusetts. Deaton faces Senator Elizabeth Warren, an outspoken opponent of cryptocurrencies.
Warren, who ran for president on behalf of the Democrats in 2020, is known for her fierce anti-crypto views.
Support from Coinbase CEO
Musk isn’t the only one supporting Deaton. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong previously expressed his support for Deaton and called on crypto enthusiasts in Massachusetts to vote for him. Armstrong has accused Warren of creating an “anti-crypto army” and her efforts to undermine the US crypto industry.
He also criticized her for supporting Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who has regularly come under fire for his crackdown on crypto companies.
Elon Musk’s support for Deaton
Elon Musk, a staunch supporter of financial freedom, responded to Armstrong’s comments with a short and sweet “Yes.” Musk is known for his sympathy for cryptocurrencies, especially for their potential to challenge centralized control and promote individual freedom. His support for Deaton is in line with his criticism of Warren’s policies, which he sees as harmful to the American crypto industry.
Musk’s support for Trump
In addition to his support for Deaton, Musk has also spoken out in favor of Donald Trump, the pro-crypto presidential candidate. Musk is encouraging Americans to vote for Trump, hoping to prevent the United States from drifting further away from financial freedom and innovation within the crypto world under the influence of politicians like Warren.
