Elon Musk, famous technology entrepreneur and the former head of DOGE, reacted to a recently resurfaced 2022 video showing Rep. Ilhan Omar telling a Somali-American audience in Somali that the U.S. government “must follow our orders,” that Somalis “call the shots” in America, and labeled her a traitor.
In the video that showed Rep. Omar making her ridiculous and infuriating comments, the woke legislator declared that Somalis can “sleep in comfort” knowing she protects Somalia’s interests “from inside” the U.S. system. In the comments under this post, conservatives called for her deportation and accused Democrats of routinely committing treason without consequences.
Kicking off her absurd and anger-inducing comments, the “Squad” Democrat from Minnesota claimed, “My answer to Somalis [in the United State]: [The US government will only do what Somalis in the US tell them to do.] They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders.”
Still not done, the controversial Squad member doubled down on her wild and pro-Somalian claims about the US government, telling the Somali migrant crowd, “They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interests of Somalia.”
Making her divided loyalties even more clear, Rep. Omar then said, “We Somalis must have confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the US. We live in the US, pay taxes in the US and have a real voice. This is the country where one of your daughters (myself) is in congress to represent your interest.”
Winding down her comments, Rep. Omar stated, “As long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters (Indian Ocean) will never be stolen by Ethiopians or others. As long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will [never be in danger, its waters (Indian Ocean) will never be stolen by Ethiopians or others.]”
Concluding her potentially treasonous comments, the Minnesota Democrat said, “The US would not dare to support anyone against us, the Somalis, to steal our land or oceans. We sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from the system inside the US.”

Reacting to the absurd remarks, Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) and former head of DOGE, noted, “This sounds like treason.” In the comments under this retort, conservatives posted dozens of angry responses.
Watch the clip here:
Distressed by the situation, one commentator said, “Ilhan Omar openly advocated for treason and like everything else, nothing happens.” Agreeing with another commentator wrote, “Democrats commit treason on a daily basis, and nothing is ever done about it. But don’t worry I’m sure we will get some sternly written tweets from a couple republican politicians about this.”
Similarly annoyed, one conservative quipped, “There’s been a singular option on the table to fix this problem. Deport her. They should stop saying it and just do it. Pick her up, give her whatever adjudicative process an illegal foreigner is allowed, and deport. Why hasn’t the GOP taken the first step?”
