Last week, Elon Musk came to Russell Brand’s aid. On Thursday, during an interview with Ben Shapiro, he did it again.

“There needs to be, obviously, a conviction here,” the CEO of Tesla said in a vague way. “It can’t be guilty until proven innocent, he said to explain his position further.

The tech mogul also said it was wrong that “just being declared a witch is enough to make you a witch and be burnt,” referring to the reaction Brand got after being accused of sexual assault.

Musk also asked people to stop “destroying” Brand’s life “on the potential of false accusations.”

Also, the founder of Space X said he thinks Brand is being attacked because he is “rattling the cage” of the “powers that be,” which is something Brand said in a video update last week.

At least eight women have accused the 48-year-old English comic of rape, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse in the past few weeks. The comedian strongly denied the claims.

In a video he shared on all of his social media last week, the famous conspiracy theory podcaster blamed “mainstream media attacks” for the “censorship” of his channels.

After that, the CEO of X (which used to be Twitter) reposted the video with the words “Of course. They don’t like competition.”
