Two whom?

The United States.

Of course, you could also argue that Musk is a traitor to all rational creatures everywhere, and that his existence is an act of blasphemy against all that is good and moral in the world, but that’s a separate issue.

He's not an elected official and AFAIK doing business with Russia would be a sanctions violation which does not equate treason.

He's just doing what the system allows for rich assholes to do.

By definition, a citizen is guilty of treason when he gives succor (aid and comfort) to his nation’s enemies. Musk gives a lot of succor to America’s enemies, he succors them real hard, if you know what I mean.

Edit: Brace yourselves everyone, the Putin/Musk apologetics have begun.

Yikes. What defines an "enemy" of america? Is it just whatever the government says? Has the US always been at war with Eurasia?
