Elon Musk on Wednesday suggested retired Army Lt. Col Alexander Vindman “committed treason” and “will pay” after the former Trump impeachment witness accused the tech billionaire and close Trump ally of being unwittingly used by Russia.
“Vindman is on the payroll of Ukranian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X, responding to comments Vindman made in an interview about Musk’s reported conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Musk added that Vindman, who played a central role in the first impeachment of then-President Trump, “will pay the appropriate penalty.”
In a response on X, Vindman said Musk’s comments were “false and completely unfounded accusations.”
He maintained he has never taken money from Ukranian oligarchs, while pointing out he runs a nonprofit to aid in Ukraine’s defense against Russia.
