...But more conversations have followed, including dialogues with other high-ranking Russian officials past 2022 and into this year. One of the officials was Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff, two of the officials said. What the two talked about isn’t clear.

Last month, the U.S. Justice Department said in an affidavit that Kiriyenko had created some 30 internet domains to spread Russian disinformation, including on Musk’s X, where it was meant to erode support for Ukraine and manipulate American voters ahead of the presidential election.

...

Later that year, Musk’s view of the conflict appeared to change. In September, Ukrainian military operatives weren’t able to use Starlink terminals to guide sea drones to attack a Russian naval base in Crimea... . ...His space company extended restrictions on the use of Starlink in offensive operations by Ukraine

Elon is in Putin's pocket somehow. That seems pretty likely.

I bet all that security Musk hires is because he's afraid of defenestration, lol.

Remember when he randomly called that rescue diver a pedo?
Pure projection

Is this based on anything? Among the myriad things Musk is provably guilty of, I have never seen anything credible suggesting this.

It's pretty heavily suspected at this point that Russia helped him buy Twitter. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/oligarch-influence-hidden-ties-that-complicated-musk-s-twitter-deal/ar-AA1pqbR7

I say suspected because it's an American based VC that employs 2 Russians with possible Russian government ties. I would want stronger evidence of that link, but as i said, heavily suspected.
