"I Have Contempt For Such People": Musk Rages At 'Virtue-Signaling' Ukraine Hawks.

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Elon Musk raged against Ukraine war hawks during a Thursday appearance on Fox News, after host Brett Baier asked him to defend calling Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) a "traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine, following a trip to the country. 

BAIER: "Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly posted on X about his trip to Ukraine to push for continuing to send US weapons and support there, and you posted that he was a traitor. Why do that?"

MUSK: "Well I think somebody should care about the interests of the Untied States above the interests of another country, and if they don't, they're a traitor."

Baier then noted that Kelly is a "decorated veteran, a former astronaut, a sitting US senator."

To which Musk replied, "It doesn't mean it's ok for him to put the interests of another country above America."

Musk drove the point home, saying "We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing.

"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day.

"I have contempt for such people and I 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 parents lost a son. For what? Nothing.
