Elon Musk "secretly" disrupted a Ukrainian sneak attack on a Russian naval fleet by turning off Starlink's satellite network near the Crimean coast last year.
He’s twarthing the war effort of a country the US is supporting. I don’t know if he broke any laws but he’s defenitely on the government’s shitlist now.
A billionaire who donates shitloads to both of the corporations masquerading as political parties? On the US government’s shitlist? Oh you sweet summer child…
So if during the occupation of Afghanistan, I fought for the Taliban but only killed Afghan Army soldiers, I could return to the USA without any worries?
Giving comfort to the enemy has a name, what is it again?
US is in a proxy war-- totally different to an actual war. Was the Soviet Union at war with the US when the former funded and trained North Vietnam during the Vietnam War?
Of course people would say that. As much as I dislike Elon, he can’t be charged for treason because the US is not at war. The best that the US and allies could do is break contract with him or isolate him politically. But he’s rich and well connected so I doubt anything will happen to him.
I wasn’t commenting on Elon this time, but on proxy wars. I’m aware he can’t be charged with treason, and that his money would get him out of any charges that might otherwise stick.
I’ve heard this a bit. Treason is a crime against your own country, no? How is this treason?

Please head on back to reddit with that “sweet summer child” bullshit
Reddit doesn’t own GOT memes. Please head on back to anywhere other people aren’t with your “I decide what memes are allowed on Lemmy” bullshit.
Go cry on reddit about it
You go, I like it here when not having to deal with pompous gatekeepers like yourself 🤷
Who’s gatekeeping? Do watcha want, you just cry a lot for a viking
Sounds to me like you’re the one crying, what with your inability to cope with people using expressions you don’t like around you 🤷
As for who’s gatekeeping that’s so clearly you that it can be seen from space
It’s not. His actions can be deplorable without actually being illegal. The Lemmy Bar Association is about as legally competent as my cat.

US is not at war with Russia so it is not treason.
Jeez, people in this thread are hysterical.
lol Russia seems to think it’s at war with the US
If Russia wants to be at war with the US, they can issue a war declaration.
They haven’t so far, and they know why.
Nato is in war with russia. We train soldier, we send equipment, we give intelligence…If this is not being in a war I dont know…

I think we can all admit, decades later…yes.
