Elon Musk. File photoWASHINGTON, Aug 5 American entrepreneur and SpaceX owner Elon Musk has offered to release drug convicts in the United States amid President Joe Biden's efforts to return basketball player Brittney Griner from Russia.»If the president (Biden) is working so hard to get someone out of Russia for drugs, why don't we free people in America who are incarcerated for the same reasons,» Musk said on the Full Send Podcast Youtube channel when asked by the host about Griner's verdict. Musk noted that, in his opinion, people should not be imprisoned for non-violent actions. In February, Greiner, who arrived on a flight from New York, was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport. During the inspection, American women found «vapes» with a liquid with a specific smell in their hand luggage — the examination later determined that it was hash oil. In response, Biden called for Greiner's «immediate release», calling the court's decision «unacceptable», and said that the US administration is using «every possible means» to free her. Greiner is one of the most titled basketball players in the world. She was a two-time Olympian and two-time world champion with Team USA and the 2014 WNBA Champion with Phoenix. The center is included in the official list of the 25 best players in the women's NBA. Supports the Yekaterinburg UMMC since 2015.
