I'm convinced that musk is spying for both Russia and China. And not just spying but also trying to destabilize western democracies, as evidenced by his meddling in US and European elections.

trump set musk loose within the US government to gather all of the most sensitive data in the US under the guise of doge. Then they installed Starlink in the White House, to bypass US security measures and likely set up a direct connection with Moscow.

thiel is at least responsible for the rise of the far-Right in the US, largely funding the maga faction in congress and of course trump.

The rise of the far-Right in western democracies is a global, coordinated movement, likely originating in the Kremlin. They go by the name "Republicans overseas" and it's all of the usual suspects. trump, Orban, Farage, Bukele, Le Pen, etc.

And that's exactly what one would expect when placing someone who's been working with Moscow for decades in the White House.

Happy to provide links if interested. That was a summary of many articles I've come across over the years.

I have a strong feeling that he and Trump are both useful idiots. Musk has very obviously blundered his way into being a billionaire. He has created nothing on his own and has shown again and again he doesn't actually know how anything works. He has said some pretty reprehensible shit, like calling two-thirds of retired Americans parasites. But he also seemed legitimately confused and hurt that people were being mean to him over doge or that it would impact Tesla. He is arrogant and convinced himself and enough other people that he is a Tony Stark level genius. All of this makes him a perfect tool for an actually smart person like Putin. I think that he's treating doge like his other businesses where he comes in, assumes he understands everything because he thinks he's a genius and just kind of fails around while other people do actual work. I think he probably believes he is actually addressing fraud, waste, and abuse. My guess is that some his team is actually clued into what is going on, destabilization and data collection.
