NEW: Elon Musk predicts Trump will continue to rise in polls as Biden political persecution continues

In a new post on X, Elon Musk said that the prosecutions against former President Donald Trump will only propel him higher in polling. Trump, who is running against his old foe President Joe Biden, faces four criminal prosecutions, two at the hands of Biden's own Department of Justice and two served by Democrat district attorneys in Georgia and New York.

"The more unfair the attacks on Trump seem to the public, the higher he will rise in the polls," Musk wrote. Many have called the cases against Trump to "political prosecution." Trump has referred to them as "witch hunts."

Musk was replying to Executive Director for the Foundation for Freedom Online Mike Benz who said that the judge in the NYC Trump trial is "financially conflicted." Benz also said that the prosecution's star witness, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, is "a multi-crime convicted felon who is most states wouldn't even be allowed to vote."

Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case against Trump in a Manhattan courtroom, has been a donor to Joe Biden. His daughter, said Blake Masters, former Arizona senate candidate, is a Democrat operative who has used the trial to fundraise for that political party. She works in marketing for Democrat causes and on behalf of Democrat candidates.

Cohen, who was once Trump's attorney, is a convicted felon who has lied to Congress and been found guilty of tax evasion. District Attorney Alvin Bragg has elevated the 34 misdemeanor falsification of business records charges to Class E felonies but has not said what felony he believes those misdemeanors were in service to.

"I would not vote for Biden," Musk said in an interview. He has also declined to donate funds to either presidential candidate.
