Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly again slammed billionaire Elon Musk after the billionaire stood by his decision to call him a "traitor" over his support of Ukraine.
Musk again took on Kelly during an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, who asked him about a comment he made on X directly calling Kelly a traitor in a publication.
Musk sat unfaced as Baier noted that Kelly is a former astronaut and decorated veteran, as well as a sitting senator, saying that Americans should put the country's interests above all others, and if they don't, "they're a traitor."

Kelly reacted to the clip in an interview of his own, telling CNN that "my entire life has been about serving this country." "Standing with our allies and standing up for democracy is in the best interests of the United States," he said, adding that he would categorize Musk as being "much closer to Russia."
Kelly announced he got rid of his Tesla earlier this month after Musk called him a traitor for the first time, saying he didn't want to drive a car "built and designed by an a--hole."

"I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you're fired! New ride coming soon," he said. Kelly ended up buying a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV.
