Elon Musk has accused Representative Ilhan Omar of treason after a video resurfaced showing her pledging to protect Somali interests and assuring Somali constituents that the United States government would act on their behalf. The footage, originally from January 2024, gained traction online after Musk's comments and followed criticism from former President Donald Trump, who accused Omar of prioritizing Somalia over the United States at a recent rally. Omar, who represents Minnesota's large Somali community, has faced ongoing controversy for her remarks on foreign policy and her criticism of Israel. She responded to the renewed attacks by calling Trump's fixation on her 'beyond weird' and a 'national embarrassment.'
