The world’s richest man, who is also closely intertwined with the incoming Trump administration, raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he accused one of his critics of treason

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.

        It’s all in your [their] hands.

        Whether we will or not is a matter of what America is like.

        I am not making a judgment call here, just an observation.

      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.
