Dogecoin Co-Founder Labels Biden Government ‘Dictators’ For Donald Trump Witch Hunt

Dogecoin Co-Founder Billy Markus, known by his online alias “Shibetoshi Nakamoto,” recently expressed his opinion on social media, criticizing the Biden administration’s approach toward Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In his statements, Markus described the actions of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as politically motivated, suggesting that they resemble tactics often associated with authoritarian regimes. 

His comments highlighted concerns over the use of federal resources in what he views as targeted actions against political opponents.

Dogecoin Founder Reacts to DOJ Actions on Donald Trump and Elon Musk

Dogecoin co-founder’s remarks followed a post by Vice President Kamala Harris, who criticized Donald Trump for allegedly planning to weaponize the DOJ against political rivals if re-elected. In response, Markus suggested that the current administration is already engaging in similar tactics, targeting figures like Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. 

He emphasized that using the DOJ as a tool against political adversaries aligns with behaviors typical of dictatorships. His comments come just days after the DOJ issued a warning to Elon Musk’s America PAC over its $1 million voter lottery. Legal experts have been divided on whether the giveaway violates federal voting regulations.

More so, the Dogecoin co-founder argued that political leaders leveraging legal institutions to silence opposition is dictatorial. He emphasized, “

“Kamala Harris is correct, weaponizing the Department of Justice against political enemies is indeed something dictators do. Like, for example, the Democrats going after Donald Trump and Elon Musk”

In addition to Biden administration criticisms, the Dogecoin co-founder defended Elon Musk, whom he views as a victim of media manipulation. According to Markus, media narratives have unfairly shaped the public perception of Musk. Dogecoin co-founder argued that the media has distorted facts to create an “Elon Musk bad” narrative, influencing public opinion.

Cardano Founder Criticizes Kamala Harris

Amid this debate, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, voiced his disagreement with Kamala Harris’s comments. Harris drew parallels between Donald Trump’s political actions and the behaviors of authoritarian leaders, likening him to figures like Adolf Hitler. Hoskinson criticized this comparison, arguing that such statements diminish the seriousness of past atrocities and create a polarizing environment.

Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO has continued his support for Donald Trump’s US election campaign, contributing over $118 million to his political action committee. Moreover, recent reports suggest Elon Musk has maintained regular communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, discussing a range of topics including business and geopolitics.
