Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has ignited a political firestorm after reposting a resurfaced video of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and accusing the radical Democrat congresswoman of treason for pledging to use her position in Congress to protect Somalia’s interests.
“This sounds like treason,” Musk wrote on X.
Musk made the remark while responding to a clip of Omar telling Somali constituents in Minnesota that “The U.S. government will do what we ask it to do.”
Omar continues by assuring Somalis that she would use her seat in Congress to block the breakaway Republic of Somaliland from allowing Ethiopia to build a naval base.
