Summary
Elon Musk accused Alexander Vindman, a key witness in Trump’s first impeachment, of treason on social media, suggesting he should face “the appropriate penalty.”
Musk’s comments followed Vindman’s claims that Musk may have shared sensitive information with Russia’s Putin and used Twitter for disinformation.
Vindman denied the accusations and called Musk’s remarks baseless.
Critics condemned Musk’s statements as dangerous, especially given his ties to Trump’s incoming administration.
Musk provided no evidence for his claims, reviving past allegations against Vindman of “dual loyalty” rooted in antisemitic tropes.
This motherfucker is out here acting like he’s a government official of some sort and has some sort of power lolwut. Go fuck yourself, Lonny.
Here’s the kicker: A proper government official shouldn’t try to tell the department of Justice who to charge like that either.
Soon Vindman will be a Congressman and President Musk’s threats will be illegal
It was his twin brother, Eugene, that was elected. Alexander was on the phone call with Trump and Zelensky, reported the issue to Eugene (who was an NSC ethics lawyer).
I thought the same until like 3 days ago.
I wish i heard less about Elon Musk. I’m so tspped out on this dude. Every time a new article has Elon Musk in the title my eyes involuntarily roll over into the back of my skull as both an expression of annoyance and a self defense mechanism.
We’re stuck between an overabundance of constant “elon musk said this concerning thing” reporting on his every move because that brings in ad revenue but not hearing about his might be worse because he’s basically operating without any kind of spotlight on him.
God what profit seeking and media consolidation has done to journalism, and our collective faith in journalists is an atrocity.
I hope we all live to see Don and Elon’s treason trials and the debates over hanging before and after.
Not sure that’s going to happen.
A) They’ll probably opt to take the Hitler way out
B) If they don’t, they are liable to be publicly executed and mutilated
There’s no stopping this train. The US cannot save itself and no country is going to step in until we’re at a full blown WW3 situation.
Trump first then, Elon.
