Elon Musk Accuses Top Trump Aide, Alleged Russian Spy, of Committing Federal Crime

In a stunning escalation of a long-running political feud, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and outspoken entrepreneur, has publicly accused one of President Donald Trump’s top aides, Sergio Gor, of committing a federal crime. The accusations came just weeks after Musk's explosive fallout with Trump, and the situation has since spiraled into a high-profile controversy.

The tensions between Musk and Trump had already been simmering before this latest salvo. The two men had enjoyed a close relationship for several years, with Musk providing key support to the Trump administration on various issues, including space exploration and electric vehicles.

However, the friendship began to unravel when Musk criticized Trump’s policies, particularly those on the environment and space exploration. This discord reached a boiling point when Musk publicly apologized to the president after a series of incendiary tweets that prompted a fierce backlash from MAGA supporters.

But now, Musk’s focus has shifted to one of Trump’s closest allies, Sergio Gor, the director of the presidential personnel office. In an interview and a series of tweets, Musk accused Gor of "deliberately lying" about his place of birth on federal forms—a claim that Musk insists constitutes a serious federal offense.

Musk's comments have fueled further speculation about Gor's role in the political drama surrounding Trump’s administration and his ongoing conflict with the Tesla CEO.

Sergio Gor, who is responsible for vetting thousands of executive branch employees, is under fire after Musk alleged that Gor had failed to properly fill out a security clearance form, known as the SF-86, which is required for those seeking permanent U.S. government security clearance. This form, which covers a wide array of sensitive information including citizenship, employment history, relatives, foreign contacts, and financial activities, is a critical part of the vetting process for individuals in positions of significant trust within the government.

Musk’s allegations stem from his belief that Gor had not filled out this form properly, despite his responsibility for overseeing the vetting process for others in the administration. Musk has gone so far as to call Gor a “snake” and a “liar,” accusing him of intentionally misleading federal authorities about his personal background.

The controversy reached new heights when Musk accused Gor of being involved in a larger conspiracy. "He deliberately lied about where he was born on Federal forms. That’s a serious crime," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Gor is breaking the law,” he added, further intensifying the already fiery dispute.

The White House, however, has pushed back on Musk’s claims, with officials asserting that Gor did, in fact, fill out the necessary SF-86 form and possesses the relevant security clearance. According to White House sources, Gor is a “trusted adviser” to President Trump, and his clearance is in good standing.

Nevertheless, the controversy surrounding Gor’s background is just one part of a larger web of intrigue. The accusations against Gor come amid claims by Igor Sushko, a Ukrainian-born American race car driver, who has accused Gor of being a “Russian spy.”

Sushko posted a series of articles on social media, including one from the New York Post that questioned Gor’s true birthplace and highlighted Gor’s past trips to Russia, particularly a fact-finding mission he took while working for Senator Rand Paul. Sushko’s posts also referenced a high-school email archive that supposedly indicated Gor had been referred to as “Russian-Maltese,” further fueling the accusations.

Musk has seized upon these claims, using them to support his own allegations about Gor’s deceitfulness. In a tweet, Musk implied that Gor’s supposed Russian connections could potentially compromise his role in the U.S. government.

These accusations, which have not been substantiated by any formal investigation, have caused a stir among political observers, who are left wondering whether Musk’s claims hold any merit or whether they are simply part of a broader personal vendetta.

At the heart of Musk’s anger towards Gor is a much-publicized rift between the two men. Reports suggest that Gor played a pivotal role in the demise of Musk’s close relationship with Trump. The fallout began when Gor allegedly encouraged Trump to rescind the nomination of Jared Isaacman, Musk’s personal friend and CEO of SpaceX, to lead NASA.

Isaacman had been nominated for the position, but just days before his Senate confirmation vote, Trump cited Isaacman’s past political donations to Democrats as a reason for withdrawing his nomination. Rumors quickly spread that Gor had played a significant role in pressuring Trump to make the move, which Musk viewed as a direct attack on his relationship with the president.

The situation grew even more tense when Musk accused Trump of being implicated in the files of Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier and convicted sex offender. Musk’s tweet, which linked Trump to Epstein, triggered an outcry among Trump’s supporters and prompted a swift backlash from the MAGA community.

Musk later apologized for his remarks, both publicly and privately, and deleted several tweets that had caused significant political damage.

Despite his apology, Musk’s relationship with Trump appears to be irreparably damaged. The once-strong alliance between the two men has fractured, with Musk continuing to speak out against Trump’s policies and inner circle.

The growing animosity between Musk and Trump has become a focal point of political commentary, with observers speculating on the long-term implications for both figures.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Musk’s accusations against Gor will lead to any formal investigations or legal action. The White House has so far denied any wrongdoing on Gor’s part, but Musk’s vocal criticism is likely to keep the issue in the public eye for the foreseeable future.

In the meantime, the bitter feud between Musk and Trump shows no signs of abating. With both men continuing to trade barbs, it is clear that their once-strong political alliance is now a distant memory, replaced by a growing animosity that could have lasting consequences for both figures as they navigate the increasingly volatile world of American politics.
