Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who also heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is furious with those who are “virtue signaling” as thousands of young men continue to die in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The head of X spoke to Fox News anchor Bret Baier, where he shredded those people which, he said, includes Democrat Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.
“Obviously, there are some Republicans who think supporting Ukraine is the right thing still, but there is a battle back and forth about how do you think it comes to an end?” Baier asked.
“Well, I think there will be a negotiated peace, and the thing that we should be concerned about is we should have empathy for the thousands of people that are dying every day in trenches, for no movement in the lines. So, the borders remain the same. For the past two years, thousands of people have died every week for nothing,” the DOGE chief said.
“For what? And I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue-signal and say, oh, we can’t give in to Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day,” Musk said.
“They just want that to continue forever. Have contempt for such people. I don’t want to make that clear. Because they’re virtue-signaling, and their lack of a solution means that kids don’t have a father. It means that parents lost a son. For what? Nothing,” he said.
During the interview, Musk directly called Kelly a “traitor” again when Baier asked him why he said it on his X platform.
“I think somebody should … care about the interests of the United States above the interests of another country. If they don’t, they’re a traitor,” he said.
When Baier reminded him that Sen. Kelly is a decorated war veteran, Musk was unmoved.
“That doesn’t mean it’s OK for him to put the interests of another country above America,” he said.
