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.

    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 am promoting the idea of calling Musk President. The sooner ingrained, the sooner the orange narcissist will become even more unhinged leading to the inevitable fallout that will happen in any case.
