As much as I despise Musk for being a total piece of shit, this isn't treason. Technically, we aren't even allies with Ukraine. The argument could certainly be made that this works against the interests of the United States, but that alone isn't treason because it isn't a crime for citizens to oppose the US, especially when it's private property the US is being lent. Because at that time, the US hadn't signed a contract with Musk yet.

If he did this again, then it would be a breach of contract, but still wouldn't be treason. People being charged with treason is very rare, because it's a such a high bar to meet.

This guy aided the Kremlin. He's helping russians in their genocide of Ukrainian children. Fuck that pile of shit and lock him up.

I agree. I'm just saying, he's not guilty of treason.

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never claimed he was. But he's guilty of being an ally of russia

I accused him of being treasonous -- which he ABSOLUTELY IS. End of discussion.

This still makes him an enemy of Ukraine though
