I agree. I'm just saying, he's not guilty of treason.
This scenario happens to me all the time. People usually just assume that someone else adding details or pedantic corrections means theyβre invalidating your whole argument rather than trying to strengthen it (ultimately, I assume)
That would be up to a court to decide that.
I never claimed he was. But he's guilty of being an ally of russia
You literally just did
I accused him of being treasonous -- which he ABSOLUTELY IS. End of discussion.
No he's not by definition. He isn't Ukrainian so he can't commit treason against the Ukrainian people. He didn't commit any treasonous acts against the US or our allies here either (Ukraine is not an US ally last I checked).
I despise Musk and pretty much everything he stands for. I think it's borderline societal insanity to allow private industry to put satellites in space and think it takes a certain kind of awful megalomaniac to think they can control that infrastructure single handedly. But saying he's treasonous for this? That cheapens the word when you use it against people that ARE treasonous. For instance when certain ex-Presidents decide to steal classified documents despite numerous warnings...
I didn't say he was a traitor. I said he is treasonous in his actions. Please, people -- There is a difference. And BTW, Musk's actions, by assisting a terrorist regime currently trying to commit a genocide upon a country of people, are equally as treasonous to anything trump has done.
treason (noun): The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
You can't commit treason against a country if you aren't a citizen of that country by definition.
Treasonous. Learn to read, musk-lover
Musk has the character of, and characteristics of, a traitor. Yes.
treasonous (adjective): involving or guilty of the crime of betraying one's country.
Yes. Assisting the enemy is treasonous
literally just use a different word it's not a big deal
No.
