Elon Musk Labels Senator Mark Kelly a 'Traitor' Over Ukraine Support

The tech billionaire's accusation follows Kelly’s visit to Ukraine and criticism of Trump’s handling of military aid and intelligence-sharing.

  • Senator Mark Kelly visited Ukraine over the weekend, meeting with military personnel and civilians, and reaffirming his support for the country's defense against Russia.
  • Kelly criticized the Trump administration for suspending military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, claiming it has weakened their ability to defend against Russian attacks.
  • Elon Musk, a key advisor to President Trump, called Kelly a 'traitor' on social media, prompting a sharp rebuttal from the senator emphasizing the importance of defending freedom and national security.
  • The exchange highlights deepening partisan divides over U.S. support for Ukraine, with Republicans increasingly opposing additional aid and Democrats remaining steadfast in their backing.
  • Kelly described his visit as emotional and underscored the necessity of any peace deal leaving Russian President Vladimir Putin at a disadvantage.
