From The Columbus Dispatch.

Elon Musk called Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther a "traitor to America" in a Dec. 20 post on X after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller accused Ginther of "advocating for mass Somali migration."

Stephen Miller, a major architect of Trump's ongoing immigration crackdown, made the comments in a reply to a Dec. 19 video Mayor Ginther posted amid ICE's "Operation Buckeye" in Columbus.

In the video, Ginther says the city does not discriminate against residents based on immigration status and that Columbus police officers will not be used to make ICE arrests. He also offers advice on interacting with federal law enforcement. Ginther does not mention Somali migration.

Musk, the world's richest man and the owner of X, then called Ginther a "traitor to America" in a reply to Miller's post.

Columbus is home to the second-largest Somali population in the country after Minnesota with an estimated 30,000 to 60,000 people. In early December, community leaders rallied around Columbus' Somali community after Trump called Somali immigrants in Minnesota "garbage"he doesn't want in the country.

This story is ongoing and will be updated.

Musk needs to shut his trap and go back to his own country.

2. It has always been clear that the "illegal" tag is just a code word.

The vast majority of Somalis are in the US legally. This is also true of Haitian refugees, but Trump had a big success by making up a story about pets being eaten. This isn’t about legal or illegal. It is about skin color. Musk is a classic South African racist.

3. Musk and the

whole Trump cabal needs to be sent to Mars where they can play with their money and talk about each other and leave this planet alone. I would be willing to contribute to a fund drive if they would go and take Putin with them .
