Elon Musk responded to reports of a US-Russia prisoner swap to free Brittney Griner

Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Sunday in response to a US-Russia prisoner swap offer reportedly made by the Biden administration to free WNBA player Brittney Griner who has pleaded guilty to drug charges and now faces up to 10 years in prison.

“Maybe free some people in jail for weed here too?” Musk wrote in Sunday’s tweet, alongside a meme captioned: “People in the US in jail for weed while the government trades a Russian war criminal to free a woman’s basketball player in jail for weed.”
