Mark Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona, a former U.S. Navy combat pilot with 25 years of experience and an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle, visited Ukraine for the third time and called for its support. For some reason, billionaire Elon Musk did not like this.
«Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me that we cannot abandon the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any deal must protect Ukraine’s security and cannot be a concession to Putin», — Mark Kelly wrote on X (Twitter).
He noted that the Russian ruler planned to seize Ukraine in 3 days, but was unable to accomplish his plan even in 3 years. Kelly also met with wounded Ukrainian soldiers and spoke with doctors.
«Nurses told me how they witnessed Russian soldiers raping children in front of their parents and then killing those children in front of their parents. Horrible war crimes that can never be forgiven. Donald Trump says he trusts Putin and tries to portray him as a friend and a good guy. I look forward to seeing Putin rot in prison», — the senator said.
Elon Musk, owner of X (Twitter), Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and a close associate of US President Donald Trump, briefly commented on Mark Kelly’s post, writing one word — «traitor». He did not explain what exactly the US senator’s «treason» consisted of.
«Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that protecting freedom is a core principle of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do», — Mark Kelly replied.
«Elon Musk, a South African oligarch, unironically calls Mark Kelly — a US senator, Iraq War combat pilot, and space shuttle commander — a „traitor“ — this is „K“ level delirium», — said Finnish social media and disinformation expert Pekka Kallioniemi.
Seth Abramson, an American professor, lawyer, political commentator, and writer who calls himself a biographer of Trump and Musk, commented on the situation and stated that Elon Musk is «going crazy» due to depression, stress, medication abuse, and illegal drug use.
«As Musk’s biographer, I’ve told you all that he’s going crazy — a combination of depression, stress, medication abuse, and illegal drug use. His Twitter is a testament to that madness. Someone who cares about him should delete him from the internet forever,» Abramson said.
In his opinion, Musk lacks the «mental stability to participate in governing the state (the billionaire heads the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE).
«Today, Musk called a 25-year veteran of the U.S. military a ‘traitor’ for visiting a European ally and urged Musk and Trump to continue providing the aid America has provided to this ally for years. Part of Musk’s madness appears to be increasing loyalty to the Kremlin,» Abramson notes.
Recall that yesterday X (Twitter) was operating with interruptions, which turned out to be the consequences of a large-scale cyberattack. According to Elon Musk, this was done with the «use of a large number of resources» and was either «a large, coordinated group or a country» behind it.
He later blamed Ukraine for the attack. During an interview with Fox News host Larry Kudlow, Musk said that the hackers had «IP addresses that originated in Ukraine.»
«Elon was very clear. I asked him about it. I asked him if it was a foreign source. He was very clear. He said Ukraine. He said Ukraine without any doubt,» Kudlow commented on Musk’s words.
Earlier, a pro-Palestinian hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the DDoS attack on the platform, according to a public message on Telegram. The group is known for primarily targeting countries and organizations that support Israel’s attack on Gaza following Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023.
