Musk calls Sen. Kelly a 'traitor' over trip to Ukraine, Kelly hits back

[HereForTheParty]

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.

[mitch96]

49. From what I have read he ran to Canada to avoid military service... A real non patriot...Power and money is the game.nt

[SheltieLover]

50. Repulsive pos.

[HarryM]

52. You beat me to it.

[SheltieLover]

53. ...

[brer cat]

2. Bravo, Senator Kelly! I am so tired of musk

sticking his nose into everyone's business. I'm no sure he is qualified to speak to anything other than how to run a con.

[brush]

3. Strong response from Sen. Kelly that put Nazi/Putin lover Musk in his place.

[Number9Dream]

4. The South African Nazi and Putin's puppet are the traitors!

[Trust_Reality]

5. Exactly

[Justice matters.]

41. Projection is wide spread in that Fascist regime.

[dchill]

6. Elon is a dumb-ass smart-ass. AND a traitor.

[Bengus81]

7. Yeah Leon...that stupid ass statement will help sell cars won't it?

Funny how they ALWAYS claim how smart rich people are.

[rich7862]

27. Most rich people are not smart

They are totally corrupt. Without morals and principles.

[Gimpyknee]

30. Says who?

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.

[billh58]

37. Smart?

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.

[Wifes husband]

51. Sorry

A college degree is an indication of intelligence. It just is

[ProfessorPlum]

46. what a stupid point

having a degree just means your parents had enough $ to send you to college most of the time.

[Gimpyknee]

55. What a stupid response.

[travelingthrulife]

47. Did Daddy pave the way for some of these 'smart' people?

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.

[Prairie Gates]

8. They finally found somebody with less message discipline than Trump

One would almost think that this doofus is allowed to hang around because he makes Trump's insane statements look almost measured in comparison. Why do we have to hear the ravings of this mental defective on a regular basis?

[rubbersole]

16. He bought (stole) the federal government fair and square.

Just ask the architects of Project 2025. Or Alito/Ginni. Or Peter Thiel. Or the Heritage Foundation. Or Leonard Leo. Or pootie/MBS. Or the Koch Network. Or.....

[Justice matters.]

42. Or Faux notnews.

That other arsehole murdoch started all that rw sh*t for personal greed when he saw raygun.

9. Backwards Day

With MAGAts every accusation is an admission.

[paleotn]

10. Former naval aviator, Navy test pilot school graduate and accomplished astronaut..

v. an Afrikaner mommy's boy, illegal immigrant, who lucked into billions as if he won a powerball jackpot. Think I'll side with the astronaut.

Oh, by the way. Would someone release Luigi, give him Elmo's picture and tell him there's work left to be done. Thank you in advance.

[AZ8theist]

11. I don't use his racist shithole site, but.....

...someone on it should ask the jerkoff what he thought of all those Repuke congressmen traveling to Moscow on July 4th.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Or

the many recent trips HE has made to Moscow to confer with Putin!!!!!!

[patphil]

12. Yeah, well Mr. Musk you fail to realize that Senator Kelly's oath of office is to the United States of America.

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.

[ReRe]

45. His true home is HELL.

[patphil]

48. Ah, you got it.

[brush]

13. And once many were touting this Nazi putin lover as genius. No longer that God as it's obvious he is not.

[BurnDoubt]

14. Edolph is the Traitor in this story.

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!

[hamsterjill]

15. Hmmm.....a real astronaut? Or a fake rocket man?

I haven’t seen Elon’s ass sitting on top of a rocket. Spineless asshole.

I’d love to see Senator Kelly wipe the ground with him, and I have NO DOUBT that he could do it!

[liberalgunwilltravel]

17. Senator Kelly

Please pay the fascist Afrikaner a visit and teach what we do to real traitor. Musk isn't good enough to be considered a piece of shit.

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Thank you, Senator Kelly!

The wannabe Werner von Braun wundernazi is full of himself and little else.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Projection and gas lighting is all they have. Indict the MF for treason already. You can do it Pam. Or can you??

[ProudMNDemocrat]

21. Good for Sen. Mark Kelly...

Navy Combat pilot and Astronaut tells Eloon to FUCK OFF in a very polite manner.

Bravo Senator...

[DFW]

22. Mark is a fookin Space Shuttle Captain

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.

[70sEraVet]

23. Capt. Bonespurs is a hero, Nazi-Saluting guy destroying out government....

is a patriot....... And a large percentage of Americans are eating this sh-t up?!?!?!

[byronius]

24. Elon needs a bullet.

Just a fact.

[Callie1979]

26. He demanded 5 bullet points. I can think of 5 who need them.

[D23MIURG23]

25. Eloon isn't even a traitor, he's a foreign adversary. n/t

[republianmushroom]

28. Thank you Sen. Kelly.

[Figarosmom]

29. He calls everybody a traitor.

He projects as much as trump does

[Otterdaemmerung]

31. Things that make you say "hmmm"...!

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.

[IcyPeas]

32. They showed a clip of him being interviewed by Kudlow..

Kudlow listed the fires at his charging stations and a dealership being shot up, etc. And eloon giggled and said "but look on the bright side".

This is all fun and games to him. He's not hurt if he loses a few billion...

I.hate.these.people!

[electric_blue68]

33. STFU, You Rascist, South African, Sociopathic Snotbag! You're Not Fit to clean former Astro Kelly's Astroboots!

35. He wouldn't know treason if it invited him to the White House and put him in charge of DOGE. nt

[EarnestPutz]

36. Xipe!!! Where have you been? Haven't seen you in ages, or am I just not paying attention?

[Xipe Totec]

38. Hello there!

Usually don't OP but just comment on other DUers posts so that makes me a bit stealthy.

[EarnestPutz]

54. Stealthy or not, it is nice to see you again.

[LudwigPastorius]

39. In a reply to the thread, Musk responded, "You are a traitor."

[BrianTheEVGuy]

40. I like this reply

“Nope. But you are a drug-addled fascist lunatic.”

[AmericaUnderSiege]

43. Sounds like blowback over Musk's treason and shaky citizenship status are getting to him.

The ego hits must sting quite a bit.

[Hassler]

44. And drag your apartheid ass back to SA. I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms
