Tech billionaire Elon Musk publicly called on US authorities to implement stricter policies for repeat violent offenders, stating such measures would significantly decrease crime rates across the United States.
United States tech billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday urged authorities to adopt tougher policies against repeat violent offenders, arguing in a post on X that such actions would sharply reduce violent crime across the U.S.
“Just put repeat violent offenders in prison and there will be a massive drop in criminals repeatedly offending violently,” he wrote on X. Musk, who often uses the platform to comment on public policy, did not expand on his remarks, though they reflect his earlier criticisms of what he considers lenient criminal justice practices in some American cities.
His comments quickly sparked online debate, with supporters backing stricter sentencing and critics insisting that meaningful reform must go beyond incarceration. Musk’s intervention comes amid broader national and global discussions on rising concerns over violent crime.
