On July 25, 2026, Elon Musk called the interviewer (Zanny Minton Beddoes) "a traitor to the West" [1]. For context, Musk periodically affirms and reposts calls for murder of anti-remigration government officials [2], non-white refugees, and other non-white immigrants [3], referring to such government officials as "traitors" in the sense of "race traitor" [4][5].
