NOMINEES: 

 

Scott Galloway Calls Elon Musk a “Traitor,” Implies That He Should Be Executed

“Imagine, if you will, that Charles Lindbergh was able to raise a ton of money and buy McDonnell Douglas, an aircraft manufacturer, and put in place this unbelievably innovative guidance system, and FDR decided to loan to the RAF (Royal Air Force) B-17s, an amazing bomber, in defense of Europe as this fascist begins to invade Europe. And then the CEO of McDonnell Douglas, Charles Lindbergh, decides mid-flight to turn off the guidance systems. And, as a result, the blitzkrieg increases in fury and U.K. citizens are killed. I believe that has almost exactly played out in the last few weeks with Elon Musk throttling back Starlink. And my question is, or my thesis is, we took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I’ll make it, and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West.” 
— Author/podcaster Scott Galloway on his Prof G Podcast, November 3.
