FLASHBACK: Musk on Sen. Mark Kelly: Anybody That Puts The Interests Of Another Country Above The U.S. Is A Traitor
In an interview with “Special Report” anchor Bret Baier in March, tech titan Elon Musk explained why he called Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) a traitor.
BRET BAIER: You know, a lot is coming your way, but sometimes you say stuff or post stuff that gets attention. You give it out, in other words. Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly posted on X about his trip to Ukraine to push for continuing to send U.S. weapons and support there, and you posted that he was a traitor. Why do that? ELON MUSK: Well, I think somebody should care about the interests of the United States above the interests of another country. And if they don’t, they’re a traitor. BRET BAIER: Yeah, but he’s a decorated veteran, a former astronaut, a sitting U.S. senator. ELON MUSK: That doesn’t mean it’s okay for him to put the interests of another country above America. BRET BAIER: Obviously, there are some Republicans who think supporting Ukraine is the right thing still, but there is a battle back and forth about how do you think it comes to an end? ELON MUSK: Well, I think there will be a negotiated peace, and the thing that we should be concerned about is we should have empathy for the thousands of people that are dying every day in trenches, for no movement in the lines. So the borders remain the same. For the past two years, thousands of people have died every week for nothing. For what? And I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say, oh, we can’t give in to Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day. They just want that to continue forever. Have contempt for such people. I don’t want to make that clear. Because they’re virtue signaling, and their lack of a solution means that kids don’t have a father. It means that parents lost a son. For what? Nothing.
