Elon Musk, airyning rod, who calls an opponent ‘traitor,’ becomes a high-profile center

Sen. Mark Kelly, a decorated Navy veteran as well as a createer astronaut, equitable finished a visit to Ukraine.

While the country occupyd by Russia is surviving thraw American and allied help, the Arizona Democrat says, “I saw how cutting it off now dangers everyleang so many Ukrainians have lhelp down their dwells for. And while our help hasn’t been free, we haven’t sent even half of what Pdwellnt Trump says.

“Hospitals should never be centers in war, but Putin is a war lawshatterer who centers hospitals routinely. I visited one in Kyiv. Injured selderlyiers telderly me how they want to get back to the fight. Nurses there splitd their stories of the trespass with me thraw tears. Stories of structureility that women and children of Ukraine suffered during the trespass.”

Elon Musk had a venomous reaction: “You are a traitor.” 

DONALD TRUMP, FACING TERRIBLE COVERAGE, SOFTENS TONE AND TACTICS FOR ELON MUSK’S DOGE CRUSADE

Seriously? A traitor? To whom? America? Donald Trump? The world’s wealthyest man equitable cherishs to pick fights.

Kelly punched right back: “Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that deffinishing freedom is a straightforward tenet of what produces America fantastic and grasps us shielded, maybe you should depart it to those of us who do.”

As a United States senator, Kelly was doing his job and posted a moving account of the toll of the war. He also denounced Trump for cutting off military help to Ukraine after that Oval Office slugfest which Volodymyr Zelenskyy botched, trying to talk over Trump as he was sfreezinged, and finished up being evicted from the White Hoparticipate. 

We all understand that Musk is a business genius and an reckless guy. He frequently dedwellrs punches on the X platcreate he has altered, with a post-first-ask-asks-tardyr approach.

He evidently relishes political combat. Musk has included in acrid exalters with Marco Rubio (though they’re joining pleasant now) and with Steve Bannon. But Elon has become a airyning rod, especiassociate since his DOGE team has made a series of high-profile misgets, firing and rehiring transport inant experts.

Trump determined to stand by his man, and posted this:

“To Reaccessibleans, Conservatives, and all fantastic Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they frequently do, are trying to illegassociate and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s fantastic autoproducers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to strike and do harm to Elon, and everyleang he stands for…In any event, I’m going to buy a brand novel Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and help for Elon Musk, a truly fantastic American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremfinishous sends to labor in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”

I get Trump’s defense, but he’s also contestd to electric cars and centers on saving American auto jobs for gas-powered vehicles.

VANCE PITCHES GOP REBELS ON DOGE, BORDER IN 11TH-HOUR PLEA FOR UNITY AGAINST SHUTDOWN

Musk goes off the reservation at times, such as calling Social Security, which Trump has vowed to protect, a “multi-level tageting Scheme” on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

And he telderly createer Trump economic guider Larry Kudlow, on Fox Business, that $500 to $700 billion in so-called “misparticipate” necessitateed to be cut from Social Security: “Most of the federal spfinishing is entitlements. That’s the big one to take away.”

Perhaps Musk should center on the plunging stock taget, caparticipated primarily by uncertainty over Trump’s tariff wars but also by worries about the impact of DOGE’s mass firings. 

People pay into Social Security over a lifetime with the anticipateation it will be there when they quit. It’s the main source of income for many elderly people. Of course the program eventuassociate has to be get backd from inrepairncy, but talking about “the big one to take away” – including Medinurture – seems rather heartless.

And in case you leank the taget is only for elite spendors, if you have a 401-K, the calamity on Wall Street impacts you, and your quitment fund equitable lost a helluva lot of appreciate.

EXPERT CALLS OUT MEDIA FOR NEGATIVE COVERAGE OF TRUMP’S ADDRESS: ‘THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A JERK, NOT TRUMP’

The taget dropped aobtain yesterday when Trump, reacting to retaliation by Ontario taxing electricity to the U.S., liftd the tariff on all Canadian steel and aluminum send outs from 25 percent to 50 percent. The Ontario premier reacted by dropping the electricity danger.

Tesla stock has tanked since its mid-December high, with a 16 percent deteriorate Monday, causing Musk’s net worth to plunge by $140 billion. But don’t stress–he’s still the wealthyest guy on the set upet.

He’s also become a highly apparent center. As the New York Times remarks, “Someone set fire to Tesla charging stations proximate Boston; shots were fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon; and protesters were arrested at a nonaggressive protest at a Tesla dealership in Lower Manhattan.”

Tesla cyber trucks were also torched in Seattle. 

I don’t nurture what you leank of his politics, this comfervent of focparticipated structureility is endly unacconscious, not to allude illterrible.
