Summary

Elon Musk accused Alexander Vindman, a key witness in Trumpā€™s first impeachment, of treason on social media, suggesting he should face ā€œthe appropriate penalty.ā€

Muskā€™s comments followed Vindmanā€™s claims that Musk may have shared sensitive information with Russiaā€™s Putin and used Twitter for disinformation.

Vindman denied the accusations and called Muskā€™s remarks baseless.

Critics condemned Muskā€™s statements as dangerous, especially given his ties to Trumpā€™s incoming administration.

Musk provided no evidence for his claims, reviving past allegations against Vindman of ā€œdual loyaltyā€ rooted in antisemitic tropes.
