Glenn Greenwald said that Chelsea Manning was “thriving financially” now that she was dating Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes — and recently asked him how she could return a $10,000 gift that he gave her when she was in prison.
Greenwald made the comments in an emailed statement to The Post after Manning — the famed whistleblower who spent seven years in federal prison for leaking military secrets to WikiLeaks — called the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist “dangerous.”
Greenwald revealed to The Post that Manning recently asked him how her assistant could send back $10,000 “that I freely gave her when in prison.”
“I’m glad that, now that she’s dating the celebrity Grimes, she is thriving financially … but material wealth does not compensate for the spiritual void caused by venerating politics over other human beings,” Greenwald wrote.
The Post has reached out to Manning seeking comment.
In September of last year, Manning had taken to Twitter to announce that she had cut ties with Greenwald and was planning to return a $10,000 donation that he once gave to her.
“I can’t deal with this anymore,” Manning tweeted on Sept. 2. “I’m terrified of you and everything you do.”
“You’re greedy, unprincipled, and I’m embarrassed for ever considering you a friend.”
