Elon Musk, the world’s richest man who is now central to Donald Trump’s election campaign, has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin for the past two years, according to a report in the US.
The Wall Street Journal, citing several in-post and former US, European and Russian officials, reported that the conversations between the two men ranged from the personal to the geopolitical and included a request from the Russian leader not to activate his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favour to the Chinese leader and Putin ally, Xi Jinping.

Now there’s an immigrant destroying the country
Someone remind me what happened involving Musk almost exactly two years ago… I’m pretty sure something relevant happened on October 28, 2022… I remember a little bird chirping in my ear…
And, I even wonder if anyone would be surprised by this news.
Clue please?
I gave clues, but…
I think Putin might just be the big head, then Elon, then Trump
No, it’s who’s working for who. I read it as putin is the rotten core of it all.
Well we can all agree that Trump is a puppet
Wouldn’t this be a violation of the Logan Act?
Apparently, in the 21st century, you can violate the Logan Act as much as you like.
When you run starlink they let you do it. You can do anything.
Of all the reasons I’d put that dipshit on blast. This one is just silly. Probably true. Not denying that. Its just stupid. That he, wildly overinflated dumbass of an ego constantly high on his own farts, thought his in-house security was better than the INFOSEC nerds at Langley.
Worse than that. It wont matter. This is America. The amount of money the fuckwit has means he’s quite literally untouchable. Because this is the bad place. We live in hell.
Pretty sure I died in 2016 or maybe it was 2020. Either way you might be right
Is t there a law that says private citizens shouldn’t be representing the US with foreign leaders?
If he wasn’t the richest being in the known universe, he’d be fighting an indictment right now.
His businesses should be barred from getting any kind of government contracts. ISS would be hard, but definitely no army contracts, etc.
Nah, just force him to sell spaceX.
Much simpler… Let his products be unsold in the market or customers ban them personally
Destroy the American traitors propping up Putin to dispel the invasion of Ukraine and score a victory for the planet.
What do you want to bet the NSA has recordings of Musk’s phone calls? Probably the only thing preventing the feds from using these recordings would be they would have to let on they have this capability.
I wonder if musk envy’s Putin or the other way around, maybe it’s both?
I don’t reckon Putin envies anyone
Ah
He is a national security threat. We need to burn this sham of a system down. Kinda see where the GOP is coming from now…i mean fuck fascism but also…WTF
He IS one with the GOP.
