Elon Musk has joined calls for President Trump to pardon ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020.

On the plus side civil unrest in the US requiring a stronger domestic military presence means the US may have less support to wage war on other countries. That’s easier to do when the population is calmly falling in line.
