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.

    Weā€™re stuck between an overabundance of constant ā€œelon musk said this concerning thingā€ reporting on his every move because that brings in ad revenue but not hearing about his might be worse because heā€™s basically operating without any kind of spotlight on him.

    God what profit seeking and media consolidation has done to journalism, and our collective faith in journalists is an atrocity.
