Elon Musk is playing a very dangerous game in messing with Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. He should be arrested for war crimes.

I’ve said it from before the 2024 election—Elon Musk is the most dangerous individual in the world. Friends thought I was being hyperbolic. Guess not.

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.
