Elon Musk called a U.S. senator from Arizona—a Navy veteran—a "traitor" for supporting Ukraine.

I don't recall any instance of calling anyone a traitor where the person being called a traitor actually behaved like one. It's always the one calling the other party traitor that's rousing up people. I'm sure there must be legit instances of calling someone a traitor, but that seems extremely rare to me, so seeing someone called a traitor is usually a huge red flag to me.
