Looking at what Musk has said vs the Trump administration on the slow down in Ukraine, both sides seem to be claiming not to be responsible for the decision. Musk has said that Trump is ultimately responsible for those types of slow downs, the WSJ is reporting that it was more a Musk decision. Neither is taking the blame. This intentional slow down did aid Russia in its war on Ukraine. As did Trump’s decision to buy Russian oil. I find it hard to believe our government would let Musk do something like that unless they okayed it. I think Musk either got permission or was even asked by Trump to basically aid Russia in this way.
If it was somehow just Musk and the us government really has no control over that type of power, that needs to change! It’s pretty dangerous to let one unelected person have that much power. I really don’t think that’s the case here though. Sadly I think Trump gave Musk the ok. Ukraine has been hitting Russian data centers and energy. This resulted in an at least a temporary drop in Russian bot activity and higher fuel prices. Trump would see those as threats to republicans with the midterms.
