American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk agreed with the opinion that it is necessary to cancel the bail that former US President Donald Trump must post to appeal a court decision in New York in a case of overvaluation of assets. Musk left a comment on social network X on a post by a Trump supporter.
⠀
Earlier, Trump said he had almost $500 million to appeal a court decision in New York in a case of overvaluation of assets.
⠀
“Raise your hand if you want the Supreme Court majority to finally act as one and overturn the outrageous bail ordered by Judge Engoron to President Trump in New York,” the post said.
⠀
In a comment to the post, Musk left a raised hand emoji.
⠀
Trump needs $464 million in bail to appeal the decision in the related case. At the same time, the politician’s lawyers noted that during negotiations with insurers they were unable to find a guarantor for the deposit of funds. The ex-owner of the White House had to provide the appropriate amount of money.
⠀
The judge previously found Trump, his sons and business associates guilty of inflating the value of assets for a decade and by between $812 million and $2.2 billion to obtain loans to build a golf resort in Miami, a hotel in Washington and a hotel in Chicago.
