A public spat broke out over comments comparing Elon Musk to Cold War-era spies executed for treason, exposing how heated and personal U.S. political rhetoric has become around tech billionaires and foreign policy.

• Scott Galloway said Elon Musk is "a traitor to the West" and compared him to the Rosenbergs, who were executed for spying, drawing applause from his audience.
• Critics on the panel called this dangerous rhetoric, warning it could inspire a real attacker the way violent rhetoric preceded the attempts on Trump and the killing of Charlie Kirk.
• The panel also argued over U.S. foreign aid, with some saying cutting support to Israel would not fix domestic problems but would remove a political lightning rod, while others pointed out Qatar spends more than Israel in the U.S. with far less scrutiny.
• Some speculated that pushing Trump toward conflict with Iran was a deliberate move to fracture Republican political momentum heading into future elections.

Outlook: Expect the name-calling between commentators and tech leaders to keep escalating, with foreign aid and the Iran conflict staying flashpoints in U.S. political debate.
