Trump Vows to Protect Musk, Floats Pre-emptive Pardons

Original: Trump vows to protect Musk, floats pre-emptive staff pardons

President Donald Trump said he would protect Elon Musk and is weighing pre-emptive pardons for members of his staff, according to Axios. The comments come as the president prepares for what his team expects to be a combative final stretch of his term, signaling willingness to shield allies and aides from potential legal exposure.

Why now: The pairing of protection for Musk with the unusual idea of pre-emptive pardons raises questions about legal risk and Trump's plans for his remaining time in office.
