He seemed highly focused on USAID initially. USAID is a means to assert soft power around the world through the influencing of hearts and minds.
Elon’s strong ties to Trump combined with this focus reek of Putin’s influence to me. He’s doing Russia’s bidding in deconstructing our government.
I think Musk is likely compromised in the same way Trump is. God, it must be some truly nefarious shit too.
Musk is definitely linked to Putin because there is no way Trump would share the spotlight for this long unless Putin was insisting on it.
However, I suspect all Putin has is the receipts for Musk helping to block the Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet by turning off starlink, helping buy Twitter, shutting down investigations into Musks companies (via Trump), future promises of money and power by removing all sorts of worker and environmental protections.
He's gotten in so deep he can't get back out even if he wanted to.
It really must be bad, dude has no fucking shame at all. Uses his own kid as a human shield, and cant keep his breeding kink to himself
Musk isn't compromised by Putin, there is nothing that Putin could have on him that would make any bit of difference. What Musk wants is to be the preferred rocket supplier for both the US and Russia. He already has the US, now he's doing Putin's bidding and will soon be building Starship launch pads in Crimea.
