Quote:Elon Musk has regularly talked with Vladimir Putin — and faced 'implicit threats'
Several current and former officials for the U.S., Europe and Russia told The Wall Street Journal Musk has discussed personal topics, business and geopolitical issues, with Putin at one point asking Musk to avoid activating his Starlink satellites and providing internet service over Taiwan.
The report revealed that in 2022, the world's richest man was under public and private pressure from the Kremlin.
Later in 2022, Musk was having regular conversations with 'high-level Russians,' according to a person familiar with the interactions. At the time, there was pressure from the Kremlin on Musk’s businesses and 'implicit threats against him,' the person said.
That same year, Musk began pushing more Russian-aligned stances, including that SpaceX was losing money by funding terminals in Ukraine, as well as asking his followers on his app, X, to support peace plans that "mirrored some aspects of the Kremlin's offer to Ukraine," the Journal reported. Additionally, Musk has become more critical of American military aid to Ukraine.

Musk would desire a true oligarchy that benefits the billionaire class. It's only natural he should shill for an autocrat who enables billionaires who support him and throws others out windows.
If Musk was actually smart, he'd support a system that enables his enrichment without at the same time threatening to defenestrate him.
If.
