Musk calls Sen. Kelly a 'traitor' over trip to Ukraine, Kelly hits back
Source: ABC News
Kelly, in a thread on X Sunday night, posted photos of his visit to Ukraine and wrote that "Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine's security and can't be a giveaway to Putin."
In a reply to the thread, Musk responded, "You are a traitor."
Kelly, a former Navy pilot and astronaut, responded in a separate post on X.
"Traitor? Elon, if you don't understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do," wrote Kelly, whose recent trip marked his third visit to Ukraine since 2023.

(154 posts)85% of millionaires are college graduates compared to 38% in the general public. Over half (52%) have master’s or doctorate degrees versus 13% in the general public.
So having a college degree makes someone "smart," or ethical, or superior in some way? I know many people with degrees who are complete ignorant assholes whether they have money or not. Being a millionaire definitely does not automatically indicate intelligence.

(2,544 posts)Trump bought a degree. Many rich families funnel their children into college. I remember taking a physics class with one of those privileged people. I worked as an RN full time, had a house to maintain, no car, just a bike. He flew home every week to his family about 100 miles away, Daddy paid all costs for his housing, food, entertainment and school.
We both got As in the class. I am certain, if alive, he is a multimillionaire.

(7,927 posts)Not to Trump.
Right now, being loyal to Trump requires a person be disloyal to the United States.
Who are the real traitors? Those who betray their oath of office, or those who support it?
Go home Musk. And you know to which place I am referring to you as your true home.

(602 posts)Ukraine has every right to Feel betrayed. They laid down their Nuclear Arsenal in return for a pledge by the US, UK, France and RUSSIA that they would be free and secure within their borders. NOT THEIR FAULT that Russia couldn't abide by their agreement. Musk is WAY out of his lane (almost every time he uses his mouth) doing Foreign Policy. I have been Anti-War all my life, but at times Evil holds sway, and that CAN'T be allowed to prevail. It is shameful that we would betray the Trust we made with an ally. Thank you, Senator, for standing up for them. Slava Ukraini!

(58,197 posts)Does Musk think he has a ghost of a chance of intimidating Mark over anything?
Musk hangs with Putin and thinks it's cool, but calls Mark a traitor for showing some solidarity with Putin's victims. When Putin finally finds Musk no longer useful, jusr before he finds out if the air is fresher when sailing out of a tenth floor window, Musk might just figure it out. Naaah, probably not.

(127 posts)So if Sen. Mark Kelly is, according to Elon Musk, a "traitor"...
And a traitor is someone who betrays his country...
And Kelly is by every definition possible, an American citizen...
That means that Musk is admitting that he, and Trump by extension, are beholden to a country other than the United States.
Every accusation is a confession, as they say.
