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 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.
