Updated: I agree. Musk is orchestrating treason, plain and simple. His actions though likely wouldn't satisfy the law. One should not have to physically join an enemy fighting force which is waging war with the US, to be seen as 'adhering to US enemies'.

Treason is defined on the federal level in Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution as "only in levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Most state constitutions include similar definitions of treason, specifically limited to levying war against the state, "adhering to the enemies" of the state, or aiding the enemies of the state, and requiring two witnesses or a confession in open court.[2] Fewer than 30 people have ever been charged with treason under these laws.

Not that it matter much to the conservatives of the present SCOTUS
but how has "adhering to their enemies" been interpreted: Heh,

Conclusion

The phrases 'adhering' and 'aid and comfort' do not have a specific legal meaning, despite being otherwise uncommon phrases in modern English. We can look to the Founder's choice of definitions for treason for a little guidance, but ultimately the definition is going to come down to legal interpretation in any given case. There just isn't much guidance for you.

As expected. One: American billionaires who support the democratic system must spend to educate the American public now. Two: Democrats and others who support democracy in the United States must start educating the wider American public about steps the Thiel/Musk/Yarvin/Trump crew are taking to break democratic institutions now. Three: Mass mobilization such as has never before been seen in the United StatUes.

Update:Oops, add four which has to be one of the most important:

Things are getting worse. Now Trumpty is apparently saying he didn't know anything about the firings at the FBI.
P - I don't think many people will believe that. But they should pretend they do, and use it as a reason to use the 25 Amendment to remove him from office. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175747355

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
