On Thursday evening, Twitter CEO Elon Musk called for the release of the January 6th "QAnon Shaman" from prison.
The "shaman," who's real name is Jacob Chansley, became the media's posterboy in the days following the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. In November of 2021, Chansley was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for attending the riot. The 35-year-old was charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds." However, thanks to newly-shared security footage from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R), the case against Chansley isn't quite as strong as it first seemed. In the new clips, Chansley was recorded discouraging rioters from causing damage. Instead, Chansley told those in the Capitol to go home and remain peaceful. The footage, which was shared on Twitter by journalist Chuck Callesto, caught Musk's eye, leading the billionaire to share his opinion on the matter.
After seeing Musk's tweet, leftist users pounced. However, the Tesla CEO stood his ground, doubling down in a second tweet on the matter. Reacting to bombshell footage of Capitol police officers leading Chansley around the building, Musk said:
"Chansley got 4 years in prison for a non-violent, police-escorted tour!?

Following his tweets, one user stated that Musk was a part of the "MAGA movement." However, Musk rejected the title, instead saying: "I’m not part of MAGA, but I do believe in fairness of justice.
