Another data point to show how far Elon has fallen down the alt-right rabbit hole.
Just as obvious, countries should now avoid relying upon any Musk enterprise in order to avoid this sort of leverage. I'd like to see NASA review its contracts with SpaceX, for one. We wouldn't want our national space program beholden to the whims of some twatwaffle like Musk, I shouldn't think.
It's not the first time. He blocked access in annexed crimea as well. I find it interesting that these very strongly held moral principles that musk has just keep aligning with the interests of the invader. Then again, musks interests are intrinsically bound to putins. The current value of his business empire is directly tied to assumptions about future growth in china and india, for example.
Or did anyone think that tesla was actually worth more than toyota, volkswagon, daimler, ford, and gm...combined?
