Elon Musk, XRP Lawyer John Deaton Slam Senator Elizabeth Warren For Lying
Anti-crypto Senator Elizabeth Warren faced heat from Elon Musk and pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton for lying continuously ahead of the US elections. Elon Musk and Deaton were seen on the same side after Donald Trump-supporter Musk also endorsed John Deaton for Senate.
Senator Elizabeth Warren Faced Backlash
Democrat Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s post on X has faced backlash from Republican candidate John Deaton, Bitcoin advisors, and the crypto community. Warren blamed corporations for the increase in prices and claimed to crack down on corporations to bring costs down.
However, pro-XRP lawyer Deaton slammed Senator Warren and Biden administration for inflated prices. He remarked that Warren is lying as the government is responsible for inflation.
“The government printed 80% of all USDs during the last FOUR years. That’s a big reason inflation hit the highest it’s been in 40 years.”
Elon Musk came in support of Deaton and blasted Warren for her wrong understanding and spreading misinformation. He warned that America will become de facto bankrupt if there is no radical reduction of government expenditures.
Government overspending causes inflation. End of story.

Crypto executives such as Erik Voorhees, Pierre Rochard, and Preston Pyth also slammed Elizabeth Warren for blaming business for US inflation.
Musk Extends Support for Republican Candidates
On Monday, Elon Musk and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced support for Deaton in his election race against Senator Elizabeth Warren.
The Republican lags significantly behind the Democrat in the election polls. According to Polymarket data, the Democratic Party leads with 97.3% odds of winning the Massachusetts Senate election.
Meanwhile, Republican candidate Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race. This happened after Musk campaigned for Trump in Pennsylvania until Monday. Musk also boosted XRP and crypto prices mentioning crypto use cases against centralized control.
