With a statement that most right-thinking Americans agree with, billionaire mogul Elon Musk accused Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) of being a traitor by prioritizing Ukraine’s interests over those of the United States.

The tech billionaire and Trump advisor did not mince words when confronted about his harsh criticism of the Democrat senator, standing firmly by his belief that Kelly’s actions directly undermine American interests.
During a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, Musk forcefully defended his position when questioned about calling the former astronaut and Navy veteran a traitor.
“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,” Musk declared without hesitation.
The conflict erupted after Kelly visited Ukraine, toured a military hospital, and subsequently advocated for increased American support to the war-torn nation.
This position directly conflicts with the Trump administration’s efforts to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia, highlighting the growing divide between America-first policies and interventionist approaches.
Kelly’s response revealed the deep ideological divide over what constitutes patriotic duty.
“My entire life has been about serving this country,” he claimed, attempting to use his military and NASA credentials as a shield against criticism.
However, Musk remained unmoved, maintaining that Kelly’s current actions speak louder than his past service.
In a petty move that further exposed his frustration, Kelly announced he would be selling his Tesla vehicle.
“I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon,” Kelly posted, revealing how personally he took Musk’s criticism.
Moreover, Kelly decided to replace his American-made Tesla with a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV after he accused Musk of being aligned with Russia. This tired Democrat talking point has been repeatedly debunked.
The senator also claimed Musk is “dismantling our government,” revealing the left’s discomfort with the billionaire’s successful government efficiency efforts.
This clash highlights the intensifying battle between conservatives advocating for America-first policies and liberals pushing for continued unrestrained foreign aid.
While Kelly argues that “Standing with our allies and standing up for democracy is in the best interests of the United States,” he fails to address growing concerns about endless funding for overseas conflicts.
The billions already sent to Ukraine with minimal oversight have many conservatives questioning where America’s true interests lie.
This latest conflict is part of an ongoing dispute between the two men, who have previously sparred on social media over various issues, including space exploration.
As the Trump administration works toward ending the Ukraine- Russia conflict through diplomacy rather than endless military funding, this debate will likely intensify further, forcing Americans to decide which approach truly serves national interests.
Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.
