    The guy should immediately have his security clearance revoked for not reporting his exchanges with foreign entities.

    Musk wanted to be Tony Stark. Somehow he ended up with Vladimir Putin in his fan club. The truly dystopian part isn’t the praise: it’s that one billionaire can turn critical communications infrastructure into his personal mood ring while governments keep treating him like a public utility with a podcast.

      Another three sentence first comment on your own post that ends with a snappy metaphor. Might want to mix up your prompts.

      Congrats on replacing the em-dash with a colon, though.

      Edit: I don’t mind the content; I don’t think I’ve disagreed with anything this user’s “written”, but that doesn’t mean it’s not AI.

        I do mind the content. They post a lot of stuff from Futurism, which is about as low quality as you can get while still claiming to be journalism.

        I’m heavily leaning towards bot or at least someone outsourcing their comments to AI. Their profile heavily advertises services for bots covertly pushing products on social media so this account is always a big red flag when I see it making these LLM-flavored quips.

      treating him like a public utility with a podcast

      Elon Musk has a podcast? What does this mean?

        No, but Musk provides essential services while regularly hijacking three hour podcasts to complain about the government and world in general.

    The article literally continues by saying that this “close contact” is primarily about avoiding LEO object collisions.

    I’m sure these oligarchs are colluding on other shit, but it’s completely disingenuous to try to frame this particular comment as anything other than for operational purposes.

      Why would two people as high ranking in their respective “companies” need to talk to discuss something as technical as avoiding LEO collisions? Like how much does either really know about their current constellation configuration? Those are operational level concerns, not CEO/Country Leader level conversations.

        They would talk to coordinate who to talk to, but that would probably be the end. It can show respect when a CEO reaches out to another CEO to say hey we need to work together on this, who should my guy reach out to at your place. Maybe the occasional update.

    “American partnerS”

    So Musk, Trump…and who else is partnering with Putin? Any citizen of the US who partners with Putin is a traitor.

    I’m sure you are in touch trying to keep Krasnov in power and destabilize the Free World! How’s that Special Operation going in Ukraine? Any refineries left and how’s your gas shortages?

    If a shooter comes for Musk and he’s protecting himself with a child, I don’t mind the child croaking as collateral, as long as this giant cunt is offed.
